Tamdhu 28 Year Old - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
This is the first bottling of Tamdhu single malt Scotch whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company. This edition is reminiscent of the classic Tamdhu style, with plentiful sherry notes balanced by a resinous quality throughout. It was aged for 28 years before being bottled.
The label is a reference to the fact that Tamdhu is the only distillery that continues to use a saladin box to malt its barley, featuring a shadow-boxing Prince Saladin sporting a mighty fine beard.
Batch 1 is a release of 270 bottles.
‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blended malts and blends. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sultanas, apricot jam and pineapple chunks break through dusty malt and apple butter. Polished oak and vanilla custard simmer over almond croissants, raw cinnamon and a little lemon zest. Crisp barley and sugary cereal add a light, almost whimsical edge.
Palate
Subtly powerful, a deep sherried flavour brings dried figs, mulling spices and woody tannins. Rich licks of treacle toffee lift dry fruitcake, while oily walnuts and polished oak add sublime texture. The tart sharpness of green apple lingers in a rancio element.
Finish
A consistent, bitter grapefruit peel note lingers among some melted almond butter.
Overall
Tamdhu leave no stone unturned – every bit of this dram has depth, class and flavour. Wonderful.
