Double first fill PX! This Speyside blended malt isn’t really a blend in the traditional sense… rather it’s more than 99% malt spirit distilled at Tamdhu with a tea-spoon of something else. 

The Story

Back in 2020, Uncharted Whisky bought 2 casks of 2016 Duich – tea-spooned Tamdhu. They were both maturing in refill bourbon hogsheads until we got hold of them. We re-racked this one into a premium first fill Pedro Ximenez sherry cask from Speyside cooperage in Craigellachie. The other (Tam) we left in it’s original wood to offer comparitive tastings for the Syndicate.

However, 3 years later disaster struck! The cask sprung a leak and some of the spirit was lost to the warehouse floor. When the leak was noticed, we emptied the cask to an inert container while we repaired the cask at a local cooperage. 

BUT… disaster struck again when a new leak appeared only a few weeks later. In the end, we replaced the cask with a second, brand new, fresh first fill Pedro Ximenez sherry cask making this the sherry bomb to end all sherry bombs!

What is the Uncharted Syndicate?

The Uncharted Whisky Syndicate is a community of whisky lovers. 

Here at Uncharted we’ve curated a small collection of super interesting casks which anyone can buy a share in.  Just visit the Syndicate page and take a look at the rather cool cask shares we currently have available. 

One full share entitles the Syndicate member to 4 bottles from the cask when it’s bottled at it’s prearranged date. All share owners are allocated their bottles and offered a discount rate for any additional bottles they would like (depending on availability). After this, any remaining bottles are offered for sale to the rest of our lovely customers.

What’s in a name?

We have a lot of fun with the Uncharted Syndicate. We believe that if we’re not having fun, we’re doing it wrong!

There were 2 sister casks – we called the first one “Tam” for Tamdhu and the second one Winston – an old friend of a famous Scottish TV character called Tam.

The Specifics

Distilled on 7th July 2016 at Tamdhu distillery in Speyside. Filled to a first fill PX sherry cask. This is one cask (#6) with a bottle yield of 207. After allocation to Syndicate cask share members we have 41 bottles left (05/11/26) so grab yours pronto!
