Description
Tamdhu 8 years old single malt whisky bottled by Gordobn & Macphail. Tamdhu Distillery was one of several to be built along the Strathspey railway line, which at one time played such an important part in the whisky industry.
Originally built by a group of whisky blenders, ownership reverted to Highland Distillers a few years later. The old Knockando railway station was converted into an attractive visitors centre and reception.
The distillery operates its own saladin box maltings, which produces sufficient malt to supply both Tamdhu and other distilleries in the group.
