Tamdhu is releasing an extremely rare whisky that matured for more than four decades

Tamdhu is launching a whiskey that's been aging for over forty years

If you love very mature whiskies and have a ton of extra cash lying around, you can purchase a bottle of Tamdhu’s newest expression. Matured for more than four decades, Tamdhu 43-year-old is the first release in The Dedication Collection.

There’s no disputing the appeal of a long-aged whisky, especially if it’s a single malt Scotch whisky. But unless you’re independently wealthy, there’s a limit to the age at which you can justify handing over your hard-earned cash. It’s likely not forty-three years.

Entirely aged in Oloroso sherry casks, this unique non-chill-filtered expression is known for its nuanced, complex flavor profile. According to Tamdhu, it begins with a nose of sweet sherry, treacle, dried coriander, berries, citrus peels, and dried spices. The palate is a mix of sherry, candied orange peels, blackcurrant, molasses, chocolate, coconut, and coffee. The finish is long and filled with flavors like sherry oak, lemon zest, and dried berries.

“Tamdhu 43-Year-Old’s release is a landmark moment for our distillery. To have a whisky this age, matured exclusively in three exceptional Sherry oak casks, is a true gem that exemplifies the amazing depth and complexity that only time can create,” Distillery Manager Sandy McIntyre says.

“This is an incredibly limited release, with only a select number of bottles available in the U.S., making it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We’re incredibly proud to offer this extraordinary whisky to those who appreciate the finest sherried single malts.”

To say that Tamdhu 43-Year-Old  is a limited release is a significant understatement. Only 100 bottles of this limited whisky are available for purchase at select whisky retailers for the suggested retail price of $15,999.

While bourbon is referred to as America’s “native spirit”, rye whiskey actually has a longer historical footprint in the US. While bourbon didn’t get its start until the late 1700s, rye whiskey was popular decades prior. So, it only makes sense that in celebration of the United States’ 250th birthday, Bulleit would release its oldest rye whiskey ever: Bulleit 20-Year-Old Rye.

Summer is the perfect time for tequila-based cocktails. On a hot day, you can’t go wrong with a Paloma, Margarita, or any other tequila-centric drink. And while classic Blanco or reposado tequila works well as a base, the folks at Cazadores just launched potentially the best tequila for summer mixing: Cazadores Pineapple Infused Tequila.

Blended Scotch whiskies you’ll want to drink neat
These blended Scotch whiskies are too good to be used solely as mixers
Dewar's 15

If you’re a Scotch whisky drinker, I know you have at least a few bottles of blended Scotch whisky that you would never drink neat or on the rocks. Perhaps you were given a bottle, or you just bought one because of a flashy label, only to realize it was fairly unpalatable on its own, best mixed with soda or other ingredients. But, if you limit your whisky collection to blended Scotch whiskies that you’d never want to drink neat, you’re missing out on some outstanding expressions just waiting to be discovered.

I was once like this. When I first started writing about alcohol, I didn’t know much about Scotch whisky, and my only experience with blended Scotch was a less-than-stellar expression that came in an easy-to-grab plastic bottle. It wasn’t the type of whisky I was going to want to crack open when my friends or family members stopped by.
