Tamdhu 15 Year

Nose: dark sweets, prunes, maple syrup, maybe a hint of orange blossom, whiff of iodine Palate: caramel, pepper, another hint of orange blossom Finish: oak, orange blossom, mild aromatic pepper corns (green), brown sugar, hint of iodine I like this much better than the MacAllans.

Kruidnagel, nootmuskaat. Zoetig, ziltig.

Spicy, sweet, tart and bitter. Very specific and not comparable. Characteristic

Dark amber color. Very pleasant fruity and floral aromas on the nose. Medium-bodied and sweet on the palate, with gentle caramel notes on the palate. Smooth finish with lingering biscuit and pastry in general.

My second Tamdhu ever reaffirmed my impression of this distillery: its good... it is really good. Fully matured in spanish oloroso sherry casks, this 15yo is a limited edition (it says limited reserve) and it can be a great rival for Glendronach 15, which is a lot to say. Bottled at 46%abv, tawny color. On the nose it is beautiful. An incredibly clean and accurate Creme brulee note, Toffee, Cofee. Every note feels toasted, so amazing. Fancy caramel; dates and slight cinnamon. Second sip reveals dulce de leche and more toffee. Orange marmalade. Lovely. On the palate it is very enjoyable. Milk powder, orange, brown sugar; hard dulce de leche, very Sugary. Apricots. Toffee. Sweet and great. Aftertaste is also fantastic and gives you a whole new layer of flavors. Oak spice, leather and dulce de leche ice cream. Overall, as soon as you taste this you inmediately know how solid this whisky is. A fancy yet complex and sweet dram, very well crafted. My score for it is 93 over 100, and i definitively recommend it. Good job Tamdhu.

A very good sherried Speyside, it is one of my favorites infact! It was hard to reach past it in the collection which usually is a good sign. Will be buying this one again in the future.
