The Macallan & Tamdhu Connection

At the heart of Speyside Connection 10 Year Old 2016 is the marriage of whisky associated with two historic Speyside names: The Macallan and Tamdhu.

Both distilleries are internationally recognised for producing rich and characterful single malt whisky, with sherry-seasoned oak playing an important role in many of their best-known expressions.

Bringing the two together creates a fascinating opportunity to experience complementary aspects of their distinctive Speyside character within a single bottling.

10 Years of Maturation

The Speyside Connection 10 Year Old was distilled in 2016 and matured for a full decade before bottling.

Ten years of maturation provides sufficient time for the spirit and oak to develop additional richness and complexity while retaining vibrant fruit and malt characteristics.

At 52% ABV, this expression offers considerably greater intensity than many standard 40–46% bottlings, helping preserve body, flavour and texture.

It can be enjoyed neat or explored with a few drops of water to reveal additional layers of aroma and flavour.
