This is a limited-edition Single Cask expression that has been specially selected by the Tamdhu ‘Dedication Society. In August 2022, the Tamdhu Dedication Society convened to select the society's next single cask bottling in a limited balloted event with only sixteen members from around the globe in attendance. Four carefully selected single casks were presented in a tasting by Sandy McIntyre (Distillery Manager), Gordon Dundas (Brand Ambassador), and Emma Newton (Blender). And the group was unaminous in its selection of a first fill European Oak Sherry Hogshead from 2004. When nosing, the group agreed on warm croissants and zesty dark chocolate orange, with hints of soft leather, toasted almonds, juicy plump raisins and a gentle warmth from hints of ginger and spice. Too taste, a luxurious black forest gateau with lashings of blackcurrent and jelly jam. A rich sweetness from the dried fruits and vanilla comes through with the familiar taste of dry sherry. The single cask provides a long, lingering, balanced finish, with dried fruits along with sweet treacle and hints of spice. Only 275 bottles of the Dedication Society Single Cask 2023 were produced from full maturation is a single sherry hogshead and made available to purchase within the UK.

Tamdhu

Tamdhu is another distillery built upon the crest of the whisky boom of the 1890s. Founded in 1897 by a group of blenders, the distillery has endured periods of closure throughout its history. Most recently in 2009 when the owners at that time (Edrington) did not put much effort into establishing it as a brand. That changed in 2011 when Ian Macleod Distillers purchased Tamdhu and since then we’ve seen a remarkable upswing in its fortunes. The purchase included maturing stock, so Ian Macleod was able to relaunch Tamdhu with a new steampunk visual look and an emphasis on sherry casks. Since this rebranding, sales have grown and a new level of appreciation has formed around this distillery, which is able to produce a sherried whisky as good as anywhere else.
