Founded in 1897 by a group of blenders based on the plans of Charles Doig, Tamdhu is one of the last distilleries in Scotland to malt all of its barley on site. Little known as a single malt, its fruity whisky is nonetheless a popular ingredient in many blended scotches, including Cutty Sark, J&B and The Famous Grouse.

A Speyside single malt distilled, at the Tamdhu distillery, heavily influenced by sherry cask maturation for at least 15 years. Bottled in the mid-1980s. Note that this version is a contemporary of the 10 Year Old, which was presented in a tall bottle (screw cap). Decanter equipped with a cork stopper sealed by a fabric tax strip and two wax stamps (one is missing on the back of this bottle).
