Country : Scotland

Founded : Founded in 1896 - Established 1897
Owner : Highland Distilleries
Producer :  ?
Water : There own spring - Spey river. Tamdhu burn.
Remark : Tamdhu = Litle black hill. 
The Principal Speyside product among the bottled single malts in the Highland Distilleries range. A mild, urbane whisky, learning towards malty sweetness. 
The distillery is in the heart of Speyside, between Knockando and Cardhu. It was founded in 1896 and largely rebuilt in the 1970's. The water comes from the Tamdhu burn, witch flows through woodland into the Spey. Thamdu has a impeccably well kept, and has its own touches of tradition, notably its enthusiasm for wooden fermenting vessels. 
The whisky is becoming better known as a bottled single malt and is a component of The Famous Grouse blend. 
At barrel proof, it has performed especially well in Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottlings.

Remarks from the book 'The Scottish collection' Classic Malts by Carol P. Shaw:
Tasting notes : A good, light-to-medium Speyside malt, which is slightly peaty but with a delicate sweetness and a logn, subtle finish. / Taste rating = 3
Highland Distilleries bought this distillery shortly after it opened in 1897 and have owned it ever since. It was extensively refurbished in the 1970's and is now one of the most modern distilleries on Speyside. Set in the Spey vally, Thamdu used to favour the hyphenated Glenlivet suffix, but this has been dropped in recent years. As well as its appearance as a single malt, Thamdhu features in The Famous Grouse blend, owned by Highland's subsidiary, Matthew Gloag & Son.

Tamdhu Fine Single Malt Scotch

Tamdhu kommer fra Speyside, som uden tvivl er et af de Fineste produktionsområder.

Tamdhu er det eneste destilleri i Speyside, der malter sin byg selv og dermed har fuld kontrol over hele produktionsprocessen.

Tamdhu er en single Malt uden aldersangivelse.
Tamdhu er kvalitetsmæssigt et fantastisk godt bud i kategorien single Malts uden aldersangivelse.

Single Malt er sum bekendt den eneste officielle og tilladte betegnelse for Maltwhisky fra et enkelt destilleri.
