Tamdhu 2006 Sansibar Sherry #3102 – 52,3%

Deliveries are expected to begin in early October

“Here we present an exceptional Speyside single cask: aged for 20 years in sherry puncheon #3102, bottled at a robust 53.2% ABV, and limited to just 291 bottles. Founded in 1897 on the banks of the River Spey, the Tamdhu Distillery is renowned—perhaps more than any other—for whisky matured exclusively in sherry casks. While many whiskies use sherry casks merely for a final finishing period, full maturation in sherry casks has always been central to Tamdhu’s identity. This Tamdhu was distilled in 2006—prior to the distillery’s temporary closure in 2010—making it a rare snapshot from an earlier era of production. The whisky spent its entire 20-year maturation period in a single sherry puncheon. This long, uninterrupted aging process has imbued it with intense sherry sweetness and complex notes of red berries, marzipan, Christmas spices, and nougat. Powerful yet refined, the whisky combines subtle herbal notes and a smooth oak influence to achieve both rich depth and elegant balance. No mere sherry finish here, but 20 years of full maturation in a single sherry cask—yielding just 291 bottles from puncheon #3102.”
