Produced in Speyside, Scotland. Tamdhu 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch is aged exclusively in sherry-seasoned oak casks and bottled at 46.8% ABV in a 750ml format. It retails for around $200.
While the 15 Year Old was definitely of note, the 18 Year Old, with just a three-year difference, sings to the heavens. This is a sherry bomb whisky at the height of its greatness, there is no doubt.
Black pepper, nutmeg and clove. Then coffee again, hints of cedar and black tea. Burnt edges of a cake. Hints of wine tannins too. Blackberries and sultanas are still present but this is not exactly a fruity whisky after all.
