In the recent years Tamdhu has become a sherried power in Scotland. Their malts have won some prizes and they are positioning themselves as a luxury brand. I loved their expressions and they have nailed this "Batch Strength" releases. Now its time to rate their fourth one, bottled at 57.8%abv, tawny color.
On the nose, this one is remarkable. Burnt caramel, Lemon, Glazed pork, peaches. Earth and Marzipan. Christmas cake and Thick vanilla.
On the palate, it is definitively a luxury whisky. Cinammon, salt, dulce de leche and a fancy toffee.
Aftertaste follows the same path, with a very well crafted caramel note; there is this sensation of having tasted a toffee liquor with cinnamon and Salt crackers.
Overall, this single malt has the Tamdhu spirit all over the place. Their DNA is present and you can perceive this as a 12yo expression in steroids. A very nice dram, my score for it is 92 over 100.

Great review - this is the runaway winner from the Tamdhu stable and offers much more than their core range expressions.
