Tamdhu Distinction Quercus Alba Limited Release 02 is a single malt whisky that showcases the distinct characteristics of first-fill American oak sherry cask maturation. The whisky begins its journey in the oak forests of North America, where the casks are crafted in the 'sherry triangle' in Spain over six years. The staves are left to air dry in the Mediterranean sun before being assembled and toasted by experienced coopers. The Oloroso sherry seasoning takes place in Spain before the casks travel to the Tamdhu distillery in Speyside, where they are filled with new-make spirit.
Bottled in 2022, this limited release is the second in the Quercus Alba Distinction series and is bottled at 48% ABV. Aromas of malt, vanilla, oak spice, orange zest, and fresh mint fill the nose, complemented by notes of damsons, dark chocolate, figs, oak, dried fruit, golden syrup, and apple crumble throughout the palate and lingering in the finish.
Tamdhu, renowned for its sherry-lead following, continues to uphold its legacy with this release. It presents an excellent opportunity for enthusiasts to compare the influence of American oak versus European oak on Speyside single malt Scotch. Over time, the vibrant new-make spirit develops rich fruity flavors and a wonderful natural amber color as it combines with the American Oak sherry cask.
