Tamdhu 21 Year Old, a Speyside single malt, has been named Best Overall Scotch at the 2026 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, one of the largest blind-tasted spirits competitions. The whisky also took the Best Single Malt Scotch title, after earning a Double Gold medal awarded unanimously by the judges.
Like all Tamdhu whiskies, the 21-year-old is matured exclusively in casks that held Oloroso sherry, made of Spanish and North American oak and sourced from bodegas in Jerez. It is bottled at 47.5%, without chill filtration or added colouring. The official tasting notes mention sherried oak, chocolate, sultanas, candied orange and cinnamon.
This year the same whisky also won the top award at the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Awards. In the US, where it launched a little over a year ago, its suggested price is $399.99.
