Tamdhu 15 Year Old
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
46% ABV
Nose: Sherry
steeped sultanas - spiced baked apples – Luxardo maraschino cherries – orange peel
– grilled pineapple rings – Quality Street strawberry fondant chocolate creams –
blackberry crumble - Madagascan vanilla custard – a warm Pret A Manger pain aux
raisin – ground cinnamon – nutmeg – cloves – a kiss of anise and some rather charismatic
charred oak.
Palate: Sheer
sherry-soaked sultanas and raisins dusted with demerara sugar – poached pears –
apple turnovers - M&S lemon curd whitby buns – Muller fruit corner peach
and apricot yogurt - rhubarb and custard boiled sweets – Tunes cherry lozenges
- bergamot oil – pink peppercorns – caramelised the fennel fronds - toasted cinnamon
sticks – tobacco leaf and wisps of wood spice.
Finish: The
finish is as magnificently memorable and as beautifully balanced as the nose
and palate. Lingering long and leisurely after the final sip, highlighting each
and every one of the elements that have helped to tell its sensory story!
Summary: Yet another drop of pure dramming class
in a glass, from one of the most exciting Scotch whisky distilleries over the
last few years. Since being taken over by Ian McLeod Distillers, Tamdhu continues
to go from strength to strength, with both its core range and limited-edition (all
killer and no filler) bottlings!
