Tamdhu Quercus Alba Distinction Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Distilling in the heart of Speyside since 1897, Tamdhu is the only Scotch whisky distillery to fully mature its liquid exclusively in oloroso sherry casks. This bottling is named for the oak species 'Quercus Alba', a native of the forests of Northern America. Harvested, prepared and imported into Spain, the casks are crafted in the “sherry triangle” over the course of six years. Staves are left to air dry in the Mediterranean sun before being assembled and toasted. Finally, the Oloroso sherry seasoning takes place, before the casks travel to Tamdhu where the vibrant new-make combines to deliver rich fruity flavours. 48% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... Nose: Nutty and creamy? with vanilla, cinnamon, honey, apple crumble, cherries, citrus and delicate mint. Palate: Mouth coating with a luscious richness, thick and fruity with soft oak, plum, gooseberry and chocolate limes. Finish: Long with the sherry notes lingering into a fruity finish with dates and syrup sponge.
