Stories

Whisky is a passion to explore. From the history of the spirit to the evolution of the industry, the story of whisky helps fuel that passion. Often, it’s easy to forget that whisky is also a global multibillion dollar industry. The stories of whisky — from news and new releases to in-depth inquires and what goes on behind the label — blend together to help us appreciate the spirit of whisky.

During a rare open day at Tamdhu, the new Tamdhu 10-year-old was released along with a special  limited edition version.

The 10 Year Old was matured in Sherry casks and is bottled at 40% ABV, while the 10 Year Old Limited Edition (1,000 bottles) was matured exclusively in first-fill Sherry casks. The basic version retails for £34.99 ($54.50 USD), while the Limited Edition will sell for £100 ($155.75 USD).  Both are available through the Tamdhu web site and whisky specialist retailers in the UK.

For a perspective on Tamdhu’s revival, listen to Episode 323 of WhiskyCast from July 3, 2011 and Mark Gillespie’s interview with Ian Macleod managing director Leonard Russell.
