- Description
- Tamdhu's 12-year-old from Douglas Laing's Premier Barrel range showcases Speyside's classic sherried character in understated elegance. Matured in ex-sherry casks, this whisky balances rich dried fruit and spice notes with Tamdhu's naturally sweet, malty foundation. The texture is luxurious and warming, with gentle oak spice building toward a long finish. A refined expression suited to evening contemplation or as an accessible introduction to quality Speyside single malts.
