This Tamdhu expression uses a high percentage of American Oak Oloroso Sherry-seasoned casks, and the nose has touches of figs and dates, along with fresh berries, tree fruits, vanilla, and hints of hazelnut and smoke. The taste is fruity and tart with tree fruits, vanilla, fresh berries, a hint cinnamon, and a kiss of smoke. The finish is long and fruity. (July, 2024)
