Tamdhu 10 Year Old
Nose: Oloroso
sherry soaked raisins and sultanas, Fry’s Chocolate Cream, warm spiced peach
cobbler, plum jam, sugared almonds, vanilla infused poached pears, fresh
fragrant oak, a subtle suggestion of Limoncello liqueur, lime zest, a pinch of mixed
spice and a squeeze-ette of Molton Brown black pepper body wash.
Palate:
Fry’s Chocolate Orange Cream, Amontillado sherry, stewed prunes, sultanas,
bread pudding, McDonald’s apple pie, bouts of opulent youthful oak, cold black
English breakfast tea, quince jam, lightly toasted almonds, cinnamon led mixed
spice infused caramel and a binding spirity edge.
Finish: A
surging sweet lingering sumptuousness, that then evolves into something dryer
and woodspice dominant.
Summary: A
real seductive temptress on the nose but a little rough around the edges on the
palate. But do you know what, that’s by no means a bad thing and in my mind just
adds to its character.
