Tamdhu Quercus Alba Distinction

The new release from the Speyside distiller celebrates the unmistakable characteristics of first-fill American oak sherry cask maturation. As the only Scotch whisky brand to exclusively fully mature in oloroso sherry casks, Quercus Alba Distinction begins its journey in the oak forests of North America, before being imported into Spain where these casks are carefully crafted in the ‘sherry triangle’ over the course of six years.

 The staves are left to air dry in the Mediterranean sun before being assembled and toasted by experienced coopers. Finally, the Oloroso sherry seasoning takes place, before the casks travel to Tamdhu. Over time, the distillery’s vibrant new-make combines with the American Oak sherry cask to deliver rich fruity flavours and wonderful natural amber colour.
