“Tamdhu distillery is a single malt Scotch Speyside whisky distillery, located in the village of Knockando in Moray, Scotland. Tamdhu comes from Gaelic for "little dark hill".”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 8.403 means cask 403 from distillery 8. That distillery is Tamdhu, in Speyside. More on Tamdhu at Wikipedia.
