Tamdhu unveils a Batch Strength expression

Tamdhu Speyside single malt Scotch whisky has unveiled a Batch Strength expression to compliment the brand’s existing 10 Year Old offering.

The special edition Tamdhu Batch Strength is bottled un-chillfiltered at natural colour and high strength. The first of its kind from Tamdhu, the Batch Strength expression has been matured in a small number of sherry oak casks. The first batch of this new expression has been bottled at 58.8% ABV.

Iain Weir, marketing director for Ian Macleod Distillers, says: “Tamdhu is a brand that we are exceptionally proud of and it’s great to be able to extend the range from our existing award-winning 10 Year Old malt”. Our Batch Strength is the purists’ choice and we feel that this hugely satisfying malt is going to be a popular addition to the Tamdhu range. It is the closest you’ll get to sampling a dram of whisky straight from a Tamdhu cask. Each batch is unique and varies slightly in style and strength but will always capture the complex richness and intensity of sherry cask matured whisky.”

Tamdhu is owned by one of Scotland’s leading, independent family-owned distillers, Ian Macleod Distillers. Tamdhu was born on the banks of the River Spey in 1897 – an era when anything seemed possible, an age of the Can-Dhu- Spirit. Its quality is defined by the hint of peat in its malted barley, the natural Speyside water that is drawn directly from the Tamdhu spring and the 100% exclusive use of only the finest sherry oak casks.
