Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Who knew Tamdhu could be this good? Edrington gave up on the Speyside distillery in 2010 and mothballed the place, then sold it to Ian Macleod Distillers a year later. This cask-strength release is the third from Tamdhu under its new ownership, and the nose has notes of butterscotch, Turkish delight, marzipan, toffee, and is almost syrupy in its thickness and stickiness. The taste is a classic Speyside sherry bomb with notes of toffee, plums, prunes, clove, and cinnamon – thick and sticky with great spices and balance. The finish sticks to your tongue and grabs on for life with notes of toffee and spices, and lasts with a tingling freshness. Adding a few drops of water brings out hints of maple syrup. Excellent!
