At the International Wine & Spirit Competition, the 12 Year Old also scooped a gold award, marking an impressive tally of fourteen awards for the year so far.
Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery Manager, said: "We’re always delighted to see Tamdhu recognised for its quality – especially by such prestigious and well-respected judging panels. Our dedication to exclusively sherry cask matured single malts is embodied by everyone at the distillery, so it’s great to see this acknowledged.”
Owned by family firm, Ian Macleod Distillers, Tamdhu uses only the best Oloroso sherry seasoned American and European oak casks giving the award-winning single malt its natural, dark amber colour, intense richness on the palate and its deep, long finish.
Tamdhu exclusively matures in sherry seasoned casks, which are crafted in the family cooperages and bodegas of Jerez, Spain for up to 6 years before beginning their journey to Scotland.
