- Description
- This 25-year-old Tamdhu from 1998 spent its entire maturation in a refill hogshead, delivering mature, understated character bottled by Douglas Laing without color correction or chill filtration. The extended aging in refill wood emphasizes the distillery's own spirit character rather than oak influence, creating subtle layers of dried fruit and spice. A refined dram for those who value distillery character over wood impact.
