Whisky excellence does not happen by accident. In 1897, a group of like-minded entrepreneurs came together with a shared ambition – to dedicate themselves to creating the finest whisky in the world. From the very first moment, everyone involved in Tamdhu had the same mind-set – excellence must be achieved. And so, it began. The finest distillery architect and engineer of the day, Charles C Doig ESQ, as enlisted. The flawless location by the banks of the river Spey was acquired. The most advanced techniques were chosen. And the perfect sherry casks from Spain were selected. The stage was set. For over 100 years, whisky perfection was produced. However, in 2010 outside pressures forced the distillery to close its door. But all was not lost just yet. In January of 2012, the determination of Ian Macleod Distillers saw the Tamdhu Distillery doors open once more. Inspired by the founders’ dedication to one style: 100% sherry cask oak matured. The family enterprise returned the distillery to its former glory, using the same processes and passion for sherry maturation as the founders had before them. While all Tamdhu matures exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry casks from Jerez, the Exclusive Lotte Travel Retail Singapore 16YO Single Cask goes further still. We’ve hand-selected the very finest American Oak Sherry Hogshead, the best of the best. These exceptionally expensive casks are the pinnacle of sherry cask maturation, which bestow upon the whisky two great gifts: rich mahogany colour and outstanding taste.

Nose: Crisp red apples, salted caramel, toasted oats, warming sherry notes and hints of banana and cinnamon.Taste: Lashings of dried fruits and balanced spice, dark chocolate, citrus peels, honey roasted nuts and grilled pe ach.
