2015 Cooper's Choice The Golden Cut Collection Tamdhu 9 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Another delicious looking malt from Cooper's Choice new 'Golden Cut' collection that is reported to be "...perfectly balanced at its age". The outturn was 396 bottles after a finishing spell in a Marsala fortified wine cask. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.

Other reviews... The fact is that we know Marsala can work just as well as sherry, it is simply a matter of knowing which type of Marsala was involved. Colour: deep gold. Nose: oh lovely! Mirabelles and apricots, both tinned and in jam form, coated in caramel and honey and followed by a few very juicy sultanas. With water: finger biscuits and little sponge cakes filled with orange and mandarin jam (Marsala, Sicily, get it?) Mouth (neat): very good, on walnut cake and bitter orange, preserved lemon, earthy vegetal notes… With water: we could almost believe we are in Marsala, right at the far western tip of the southern coast. A wonderful place, I warmly recommend it. Finish: long, fresh, with a slightly tangy edge that perfectly balances the whole. Comments: excellent and therefore perfectly balanced, at this age and with this treatment. 86 points - whiskyfun.com
