A rather curious release from Tamdhu, showcasing the distinctive notes of first-fill American oak sherry casks (as opposed to European oak casks). Made with wood from the forests of North America which makes its way to Spain to fulfil its destiny of becoming sherry seasoned casks, and then off they go to Scotland to fulfil their next destiny of becoming whisky casks. Fascinating stuff, displaying the distinction between American and European oak deliciously.
Tangy orange, cherry, and melted chocolate with a dusting of ginger.
Chocolate cake, maple syrup, more zesty citrus notes, and rich dates.
Lasting oaky warmth, with cinnamon lingering.
One of the best Tamdhu's out there, albeit a limited release. Sweet citrus aroma and gorgeous chocolate lime sweets taste followed by a light lingering spice finish.
