This unique expression was developed in 2013 as a result of Nikka's continuous experiments to widen the variety and offer more excitements to aficionados. Made from 100% malted barley, whisky distilled in a Coffey still is matured in old casks to enhance the rich maltiness, complexity and a silky texture. This expression is not categorized as “malt whisky” but as “grain whisky” since it is not distilled in a pot still.

Tamdhu was born in 1897, on the banks of the River Spey. Now, as then, every drop is crafted with the same care- starting with water drawn from our own spring. While all Tamdhu matures exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry casks, Tamdhu Batch Strength 006 goes further still. Each cask is meticulously hand-selected to create this one-of-a-kind release. Moreover, a high proportion of these casks are first-fill: the very best of the very best. This scarce wood bears two great gifts: colour and taste. The deep copper hue of Tamdhu Batch Strength 006 is developed by the cask, nothing more- and each drop owes its rich, complex taste to its Oloroso cask home. Finally, Batch Strength 006 is bottled un-chillfiltered at high strength. A magnificent Speyside Single Malt for the sherry wood connoisseur.
