Tamdhu15YearOldSingleMaltScotchWhisky(700mL)

<p>A wonderfully-aged Speysider aged for a full fifteen years in Oloroso Sheery casks.</p><p><em>The Tamdhu Distillery</em> sits directly on the famous River Spey just downstream from Cragganmore and just upstream from Aberlour in the Knockando region. It was founded in <em>1896</em> by a group of private bottlers seeking their own consistent source of supply. Production started in 1897. The facility has been closed twice — from 1927 through 1947 due to Prohibition and then WWII and then in 2010 when Highland Distillers obviously lost their minds. They sold it to Ian MacLeod Distillers a year later and it was quickly reopened. They are famous for making <em>Single Malt in the classic Speyside style</em> and aging it in<em> Sherry casks.</em> They’re kind of The Macallan’s less-famous sister. The vast majority of production goes into major blends, but we can’t get enough of the tasty Single Malt releases.</p><p>We dare you to find a single word wrong in the following: <em>“Tamdhu 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky.”</em> Here are the specs… Tamdhu’s signature Speyside Single Malt aged in<em> first-fill Oloroso Sherry casks</em> for fifteen years. They bottle this gem at a perfect <em>46% </em>ABV in its natural color and without chill-filtration.</p><p>As we were writing this our mouths watered. If yours didn’t upon reading it then there is something wrong and you undoubtedly need counseling of some sort.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>Tamdhu is one of just a few distilleries in Scotland that still malt their own barley. They use a device called a Saladin box to avoid hard turning the germinating grains.</em></p>
