Tamdhu Batch Strength Batch 003

Single Malt — Speyside, Scotland

Reviewed February 26, 2021 (edited August 5, 2022)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
Tamdhu was unknown to me till 2020. Now it is essential in my bar. Actually most of whisky drinkers have taste Tamdhu in some form, since it was used for popular blends as the Famous Grouse, J&B and Cutty Sark. This batch strength 3, is the third release of their purest, strongest spirit, bottled at 58.3%abv., chesnut color. On the nose, hard to beat. It starts with a home-made beautiful toffee note, thick caramel, tangerine and caramelized apple. Nutmeg, aniseed, pepper; it is really spicy on the nose!. Chocolate truffle, coffee, oranges, flan caramel, new wood and condensed milk. Marvelous. On the palate it is a little oily, harsh, and spicy, maybe too much. Toffee mixed with wasabi and chilli. A second sip revealed orange juice, pepper, salt and leather. Chocolate milk powder. It gets easier as you drink more :) Aftertaste is great. The first time i had it, it gave me a smokey note. Chilli, white chocolate, tobacco. Medium long. Overall, this is like having a steroid version of the Tamdhu 12. It is very good and rewarding. You should let it breath a little to atone it. My score for it is a solid 90 over 100.

    @Jose-Massu-Espinel I’d recommend getting your hands on Tamdhu Dalbealie…that was a sherry monster

    @CKarmios 100%. tamdhu 12 yo is a fancy, beautiful sherried whisky. not overly sweet, well delivered bitter notes and tobacco finish.

    Sounds delicious. Would you recommend getting the 12yo before migrating to a batch strength?
