Tamdhu 25 years old

Tamdhu is one of nowadays greatest whisky makers, but there was a time where it wasn't as popular and as fact it was mostly used in blends. This 25yo is quite a rarity, because it belongs to that era, from some decades ago, when the "little dark hill" distillery was not so praised, and was mostly kept in the dark corners of whisky blends. On the nose, it has this incredible orange note;  lulo fruit. It is an orange peel bathed in chocolate. Really an epic clean aroma. On the palate, it is a little classic but very fancy. Toffee, spicy;  Caramel and sulphur. Tasty. Aftertaste is where that recognizable Tamdhu chocolate appeared.Tobacco. very elegant vanilla. Overall, this wasn't super impressive but it was definitively a well crafted dram. Nothing too complex, but it can surprise some inexperienced drinkers to believe this is the best whisky they'll ever have. For more experienced whisky enthusiasts, this will be ranked a little above average. Too classic on the tasting and aroma notes, but everything was wrapped up nicely. A honest score for it should be an 88 over 100.
