- Description
- This 1970s bottling of Tamdhu, a then-overlooked Speysider at 40%, captures the distillery before it gained recognition for its sherried house style. The 10-year-old expression shows gentle cereal sweetness, light orchard notes, and modest oak influence typical of that bottling era. Clean and straightforward on the palate, it finishes with a subtle spice that was characteristic of Tamdhu's approach to maturation. A curiosity for whisky historians and those exploring the quieter corners of Speyside.
