Founded in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, by a group of local businessmen, Tamdhu Distillery was established during the late Victorian whisky boom. Tamdhu Distillery boasts a design by Charles C. Doig, who pioneered the use of distinctive Pagoda Heads on distilleries. Ian Macleod Distillers acquired Tamdhu in 2012, coinciding with Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. Tamdhu exclusively matures all its single malts in specially sourced Oloroso Sherry Seasoned Oak casks.
Batch Strength No. 008 encapsulates Tamdhu's unwavering commitment to crafting exclusively sherry-matured whisky, presenting a captivating deep natural copper hue and a complex flavour profile. With each Oloroso sherry cask carefully hand-selected, this expression delivers an exquisite and nuanced flavour, leaving a memorable and gratifying finish that embodies the essence of Speyside.
The rarity of this wood imparts Batch Strength 008 with a gorgeous copper glow and a magnificent taste. On the nose, dark, nutty layers of Spanish oak make way for the enticing scent of creamy vanilla and melting honeycomb. The first sip transports drinkers to a summer orchard, where sharp berries dance alongside sweet, candied lemon peel. The experience is completed with the long and elegant Tamdhu signature sherry oak finish, with hints of figs lingering on the palate
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Layers of warm oak, then honeycomb with vanilla cream.
Palate - Sharp summer berries. A splash of water brings candied lemon peel and oak spice.
Finish - Mouthwatering oak, ending with ripe figs and lemon zest.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
