Tamdhu is well-known and much-adored for its excellent use of sherry casks, and those of you with a penchant for single malt with heavy sherry influence will be delighted to know that the distillery's 15 Year Old expression continues that theme. This one has spent is maturation in oloroso sherry casks, resulting in generous helpings of dark fruit and Christmas spice.
Charred pineapple, earthy barley and a hearty slice of dense fruitcake, then some toasty oak warmth, orange zest and fennel.
Still packing heavy dried fruit notes, with a hint of orange oil and dried apricots cutting through. Earthy vanilla appears later on with touches of cedar, leather and cinnamon.
Warm and sweet, with waxy peels, clove, chocolate ice-cream and oily walnut.
Another terrific Tamdhu tipple!
It's much better than the 12 year old but at 46%, bottled too thin. Would consider this at cask strength but don't agree that it's the best 15 yo Sherry driven dram as someone else mentioned here. I rate the Glenfarclas 15, Glenallachie 15 and Glendronach 15 easily above this but it's not a bad malt.
A very nice sherry bomb complete with smoothness and complexity. Infinitely better than the 12 year old, and even better than some other well-known sherry malts in my opinion.
Lacks sweetness and has a sour grape note that goes beyond what a Sherry cask should deliver, perhaps it was just a bad bottle, but I was mightily disappointed at the price.
This is a decent whisky no doubt, well balanced, with nice sherry cask flavours. There is however something missing, a layer or element to the whisky which simply is not there. Similar to a fizzy drink which has gone a little flat. I wanted to give it 4 star as the flavor is probably worth that, but nearly £80 a bottle is way off. This should be £50, £60 at a push. Doubt I will buy again, but not disappointed in the purchase.
Initially wasn't sure what the fuss was about after the first sip or two. But the finish is just wonderful and after the first few sips and just gets better and better. Is it an £80 bottle of whisky? I don't think so...if you can find it on sale somewhere for around £60 (as i've just done) then it's definitely worth that.
