Tamdhu distillery was founded in 1896 in the Speyside village of Knockando, Scotland. Much of the next century passed without note, including some periods of dormancy related to war and supply shut off, and it wasn’t until the 1970s that more investments were made to increase production output. It is the last distillery in Scotland to use a Saladin box in production. Currently able to produce 4.5 million liters a year, most of the Tamdhu spirit is used in blended scotches like The Famous Grouse and Cutty Sark. However, some single malts do escape. This Tamdhu 15 is, like all their single malts, completely matured in ex-sherry casks.
Glen Scotia 10 Year Peated
Campbeltown may be the smallest whisky-producing region in Scotland now but in the Victorian era, it was the whisky capital of Scotland, with over 30 distilleries in 1835. One of them was Glen Scotia. We certainly appreciate the regions’ rich heritage and tasty drams that give you a hint of the sea. Glen Scotia 10 Peated was released in 2018. The distillery offers a range of peated offerings (unpeated to heavily peated), with this offering seeming to be relatively standard edition. Enjoy this wee dram crafted and overseen by Campbeltown native and former engineer, Iain McAlister. Sláinte!
