Description & Show Notes
What do sherry casks, Speyside tradition, bold character, Spanish flair and Tamdhu Distillery have in common…?
… They’re at the very heart of this brand-new episode of The Barrel Talk.
For this episode, Miri is joined by two fantastic guests: Sandy McIntyre, distillery manager and the man behind the day-to-day magic at Tamdhu, and Carlos Pérez Arnau, European brand ambassador for Ian Macleod, whose Spanish roots make the distillery’s slogan “From Spain to Speyside” feel especially personal. Together, they make for a dynamic duo to bring both the technical craft and the cultural story behind Tamdhu whisky to life.
Tamdhu is a distillery with a clear identity—fully dedicated to sherry cask maturation—and you can feel that focus as well as the pride and passion that comes with this dedication throughout the entire conversation. From the revival of the distillery to its commitment to exclusively using Oloroso-seasoned casks, Sandy and Carlos share what makes Tamdhu stand out in the crowded world of Speyside whisky.
Pour yourself a rich dram and join us for an episode of Spanish-Scottish storytelling that’s just as full-bodied and characterful as Tamdhu whisky itself.
