The Tamdhu distillery is nestled in the Speyside whisky region in the village of Knockando in Banffshire, Scotland. Tamdhu translates from Gaelic to “little dark hill” and has been using water that flows into the River Spey in their whisky making process since they were established in 1897.

The distillery was sold to Ian MacLeod Distillers in June 2011, who recommenced production of single malt in May 2013. Tamdhu whisky was once almost completely used for the production of blended whiskies, such as The Famous Grouse, J&B and Cutty Sark, however, the distillery has now released a nice ensemble of their own whiskies garnering rave reviews worldwide.
