This Tamdhu expression uses a large percentage of European Oak and refill Oloroso Sherry-seasoned casks in its maturation, and the nose is nutty and warm with dried fruits, vanilla, a hint of hazelnut, orange peel, pineapple, and subtle spices. The taste is full-bodied and rich with notes of orange peel, cinnamon, vanilla, figs, and pineapple. The finish is long with dried fruits and lingering spice. (July, 2024)
