Scotch Tip – Tamdhu

Welcome to this weeks edition of Scotch Tips

Show Notes:

 Tamdhu or "The little dark hill" in Gaelic

This single malt was first sold in 1976.  But the distillery was founded in 1897.  Most of their production is used in Famous Grouse.  And it is the only distillery in Speyside to malt all its own barley on the premises.  It is also one of the few distilleries that uses a Saladin box in its malting process.

Color: Light golden
Nose: Light smoke and fruity
Palate: Very light
Finish: Mild

This is not a memorable scotch for me.  Nice and light but not full flavored.
