TAMDHU SCO SMALT 15YR 92

In 1898 our founders secured their first precious shipment of sherry casks from the finest bodegas in Spain. Now over 100 years later, Tamdhu matures its whisky exclusively in the finest Oloroso sherry casks. Nothing less. It’s one of the hardest and most expensive ways to mature whisky, not to mention it limits the amount of precious spirit we can produce. So why do we do it that way? We do it this way because we believe it’s the only way to create the very best single malt whisky. This is why our brand platform is – Only the best.

Tasting Notes:
Layers a fragrant, herbal quality on top of the rich dried fruits. Here’s rosemary at its menthol crossover point, thyme, fennel seed, Douglas fir, then ripe apple and pear mixed with marmalade-like citrus fruit behind it. There’s immediate richness, combined with a silky texture while the mid-palate is filled with candied peels mixed with soft orchard fruits. There’s some powdered ginger and sumac towards the back adding brightness and an acidic (Sherried) twang, before the herbal qualities return.
