Tamdhu 18 Year

The most complete sherried whisky I have ever tasted. The nose is flawless and instantly mouthwatering, opening with plum, leather, and a richer, more expressive muffin-like pastry note than the younger versions. On the palate, it is unbelievably smooth, packed with countless small pleasurable nuances that keep unfolding, yet never lose cohesion. What makes it truly exceptional is its texture and integration: the alcohol is virtually imperceptible, the menthol note that appeared in earlier Tamdhu expressions is completely gone, and everything feels even silkier, fresher, and more refined. The finish is pure luxury—long, seamless, and elixir-like. This is a masterwork of balance, softness, and sherried elegance. 100/100

On the nose dried fruit - more date than raisin. Dried mango. Dried orange peel. Toffee. Varnished wood. The palate starts with toffee, then the dried fruits, nutty Christmas cake, followed by some baking spices and old leather, cherry pipe tobacco. It's a pretty spicy finish, but the fruit and the toffee and the leather linger on.

Very sherry
