Tamdhu 18 Year Old

Tamdhu Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky has announced the long-awaited arrival of its 18-Year-Old - the latest addition to its 100% sherry cask matured collection.  The release marks an iconic moment for Tamdhu - since Ian Macleod Distillers acquired the distillery in 2011 it has held ambitions of bottling an 18-Year-Old as part of the distillery’s range. Tamdhu only matures in the finest Oloroso Seasoned Sherry Casks sourced from Spain, so when a small selection of these fine casks came of age, the time was right for the distillery to bring them together to craft a very limited 18-Year-Old release. Combining American Oak Oloroso and European Oak Oloroso casks, the 18 year unites Tamdhu’s signature fruity spirit and 18 long years of full-term sherry maturation to deliver layers of indulgent flavour and a deep natural colour which reflects the quality of the oak. 

Nose: Rich dark fruits with ripe cherry and plum. Zesty citrus notes cut through an indulgent base of nutty milk chocolate and honey-baked oats.. 

Palate: Crisp red apple emerges alongside dried fruits, with some sweet spice coming in the form of cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar.

Finish:  A long, lingering, and rewarding finish brings spiced stewed apple and an unmistakable hint of sherry.
