Tamdhu 12 Year Old

Tamdhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptional and deeply alluring expression from the Tamdhu Distillery in Knockando, Speyside. Reintroducing the brand's classic style as the successor to their former 10-year-old expression, this elegant single malt is matured exclusively for a full twelve years in the finest hand-selected ex-Oloroso Sherry seasoned oak casks from Spain. Tamdhu is renowned for being one of the few distilleries that fully commits to 100% sherry cask maturation across its core range, resulting in a naturally rich amber color and an intensely flavorful, fruity profile that honors traditional Speyside distilling methods.

Food Pairing: Pairs exquisitely with dark chocolate orange tortes, rich sticky toffee pudding, roasted duck breast with a plum reduction, or aged blue cheeses like Stilton.

TASTING NOTES - A brilliant, natural amber-gold color with a medium-to-full body and a wonderfully plush, silky, and mouth-coating texture on the palate.

NOSE - Rich and enticing, leading with aromas of freshly baked, iced cinnamon rolls and sweet orange boiled sweets, beautifully balanced by fresh sweet oak, plump raisins, and a faint, cooling hint of fresh mint.

PALATE - Exceptionally smooth and deep, delivering flavorful notes of ripe banana, sweet berry jam, and toasted malt biscuits, seamlessly integrated with the classic depth of sherry oak wood.

FINISH - Pleasantly long, warm, and highly balanced, resolving with notes of warm ground spice, assorted dried fruits, and soft Scottish tablet confectionery, concluding with the absolute merest whisper of distant peat smoke.

SERVE - Best enjoyed neat at room temperature in a proper Glencairn or tulip-shaped spirits nosing glass, or with just a few drops of pure water to further open up the underlying fruit and pastry notes.
