The Tamdhu 18yo is a unique whisky that has been matured for 18 years in the finest Oloroso Seasoned Sherry Casks from Spain, resulting in a deep natural color and rich, complex taste. The casks are a combination of American and European oak, which gives the whisky its signature fruity spirit and layers of indulgent flavor.
Bottled at 46.8% ABV, the Tamdhu 18yo is non-chill filtered and has a nose that delivers rich dark fruits, zesty citrus, nutty milk chocolate, and honey-baked oats. On the palate, crisp red apple, dried fruits, and sweet spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar can be detected.
This limited release, with only 18,000 bottles available, is a result of the careful selection of casks that have come of age, and it is a testament to Tamdhu's commitment to using only the finest sherry casks for maturation. The whisky's deep copper hue is a reflection of the high-quality oak it has been aged in, and each drop of this scarce wood bears the rich, complex taste of its home of over a decade and a half.
Like any Tamdhu, it reveals very high quality in distillation and cask selection, though it doesn't really blow everyone away like other favorites. Comparing side by side with other 18-year-olds, it sits in a comfortable middle ground. All in all, the Tamdhu 18 is a wonderful dram, with its own unique qualities.
