Tamdhu is a very light drink. Light in color, light in flavor and if I recall correctly light on the wallet. I am now convinced that distilleries in Speyside make a concerted effort to avoid all things smokey or distinct. Don't get me wrong I really enjoy the mellow smoothness that seems to dominate all of the scotches from this region but every time I drink one I think, honey who shrunk the flavor. Tamdhu is no different however I think the thing I like most about this scotch is the total lack of after taste, I mean there is really zero after taste. It reminds of when Kramer spiffs on Hennigans, the no tell no smell scotch. That is what Tamdhu is the no tell, no smell scotch. It's a good safe bet for the uninitiated but after battling the smokey monsters of Islay I feel it is a little uninspired.
