Tamdhu Dalbeallie VII Back in May, Tamdhu released the seventh whisky in its Dalbeallie series, which are available to buy during the Spirit of Speyside festival. These bottlings are named after Dalbeallie Victorian station, which was opened in 1899 - two years after Tamdhu - to bring barley, passengers, and the finest sherry casks from Spain to Speyside.

Each of the 1,000 bottles available is individually numbered, bottled at batch high strength (61.8% ABV) and is non-chill filtered, retain.
