In 2018, this new Tamdhu burst onto the market, replacing the 10-year-old discontinued by the distillery. Like all Tamdhu bottlings, it is matured entirely and exclusively in Jerez sherry casks.

Let's Taste It : 

Vanilla, honey and citrus fruits on the first nose. Beautiful fullness. Then cinnamon, almonds, mint and aniseed. Like a tangy sweet. Candied mandarins, apricots, crème brûlée, some red fruits but light, rather gooseberry. On the palate, gingerbread. The Sherry is more present, but not excessive, remaining balanced. Paprika, saffron, cardamom. The finish is correct, on wood and charcoal, with a residue of wine lees, blackcurrant and cranberry.

In Short, 

A successful expression of a quality everyday dram. Curiously, this bottle is rather difficult to find, and its price is not always attractive, but it's worth a try if you're an enthusiast.

Score : 84
