Tamdhu distillery

Tamdhu Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in Speyside, Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1897 by a group of blenders and merchants led by William Grant. The distillery is known for its production of single malt Scotch whisky.

History

The Tamdhu Distillery was established in 1897 during the Scotch whisky boom of the late 19th century. The distillery was designed by the renowned architect Charles Doig, who was responsible for the design of many other distilleries in Scotland. The distillery was initially equipped with two pot stills, but this number was increased to three in 1972.

The distillery was closed in 1927 due to the economic downturn, but it was reopened in 1947. In 2010, the distillery was purchased by Ian Macleod Distillers, who have continued to produce whisky at the site.

Production

The Tamdhu Distillery uses traditional methods of whisky production. The distillery sources its water from the Tamdhu spring, which is located on the distillery's grounds. The distillery uses malted barley in its production, which is sourced from the nearby Port Ellen maltings.

The distillery's whisky is matured in oak casks, which are sourced from Spain. The casks are filled with sherry before being used to mature the whisky, which gives the whisky its distinctive flavour.

Products

The Tamdhu Distillery produces a range of single malt Scotch whiskies. The distillery's core range includes the Tamdhu 10 Year Old, the Tamdhu 12 Year Old, and the Tamdhu Batch Strength. The distillery also releases limited edition whiskies, such as the Tamdhu Dalbeallie Dram.
