Tamdhu introduces its Year of the Horse 2026 limited edition — a bold, celebratory release bottled at 53.8% ABV and arriving in the UK mid-November with an RRP of £150 / 70cl.
Only 300 bottles will reach the UK market, setting this release up as an immediate collector’s piece.
Presented in the classic Tamdhu octagonal bottle, the whisky arrives in striking red Lunar New Year packaging depicting a jockey and horse passing the historic Dalbeallie railway station — a nod to Tamdhu’s Victorian heritage that still stands today. The artwork, created by acclaimed visual artist Page Tsou, captures the momentum and symbolism of the Year of the Horse — a sign representing strength, perseverance, and swift success.
Brand Director Iain Weir notes:
“This specially selected batch-strength bottling captures Tamdhu just as our founders intended… The deep natural colour is a gift of sherry casks and time alone.”
He adds:
“In the Year of the Horse, we honour ambition by raising a glass to the eight steeds and blessing your path to success.”
As always, Tamdhu matures every drop exclusively in sherry-seasoned oloroso casks from Jerez, Spain — a commitment central to the whisky’s depth and identity.
