Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery.
Was not a conscious career choice – more by accident due to other circumstances.
Previously worked for Diageo in Maltings and Distilling but chose to work for a smaller less corporate company hence applied for role at Tamdhu.
I am also a house landlord for the 10 staff houses we have at Tamdhu. Also I have been known to drive HGV lorries at night and collect pot ale from Tamdhu for delivery elsewhere for processing.
Looking for a Fruity NMS with a bright nose, this marries exceptionally well with Oloroso Sherry seasoned casks which typify the style of Speyside Whisky of old. Brings a sweetness, fruitiness and bold natural colour to our mature whisky.
Famous Grouse – my dad used to use it on my gums to kill the pain for toothache when I was age 5-6.
Yes we are always working on new releases – either non-aged for our Special releases for Speyside Whisky Festival or some older rarer releases that we spend time working with packaging and design.
Alan Winchester – ex Chivas -he has extensive knowledge of the industry, both historically and locally for Speyside. On top of that he is such a likeable guy.
Not a fair question to ask as a whisky that I don’t really like someone else adores. There are no bad whiskies, just some are better than others!!!! And it is all down to personal flavour choices.
George Clooney – smooth and refined.
Sherried, powerful, rich
Introverted, passionate, trustworthy
