The Tamdhu DISTINCTION II Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 48% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is an independent limited edition within the Quercus Alba Distinction series, which differs specifically from its predecessor with a deeper, darker and creamier flavour profile. Here too, maturation in first-fill American oak Oloroso sherry casks takes centre stage, but in the Distinction II bottling, the cask selection was made in such a way that richer, more chocolaty and intensely spicy notes are more prominent. The Tamdhu Distillery is thus continuing its philosophy of bringing out different facets within a clearly defined cask concept.


As with Distinction I, the wood's journey begins in the oak forests of North America before the barrels are prepared, air-dried and pre-coated with Oloroso sherry in the Spanish sherry triangle over a period of years. In the Distinction II version, however, there is a clearly recognisable focus on deep sherry flavours, dark fruit and a pronounced creaminess, which clearly sets this edition apart from the first release. Bottled at 48%, without chill filtration and in a natural colour, this Speyside single malt Scotch whisky is particularly full-bodied and structured. The high-quality gift box emphasises the limited and collector-worthy character.
