- Description
- Tamdhu's 1999 vintage matured 18 years in refill wood before Douglas Laing's Old Particular bottling in 2017, capturing the distillery's unpeated Speyside character at cask strength across 290 bottles. Refill cask maturation preserves bright orchard fruit and malt character, adding subtle spice and wood depth without aggressive oak. The palate is clean and relatively unadorned, allowing distillery character to dominate over wood influence. An excellent choice for those who prefer traditional Speyside maturation and the balance between spirit and wood that refill casks provide.
