Tamdhu 2007 single cask

For our quarterly virtual tasting with @PBMichiganWolverine , @ctbeck11 , @Richard-ModernDrinking and @Bourbon_Obsessed_Lexington , @PBMichiganWolverine was kind enough to treat us to a round the world assortment of drams. First off was this 14 year old Tamdhu single cask that was bottled at 58.8% ABV. At first the nose is mildly overpowering with a high ethanol burst that begins to dissipate with time revealing layers of tropical fruits with rich caramels underscored with mildly sour red berries and a light spice that carries over to the palate with a rich velvety mouthfeel with a mild sourness and spice before the long and velvety finish with tropical fruits leading before fading to light earthy spices. I’m not sure the cost of this one and I believe @PBMichiganWolverine blessed by the whiskey gods and given this for free, but if this is under $150, I’d strongly recommend it as it was a real treat to start off our tasting.

There’s nothing better than a free bottle of whisky accidentally delivered to you. This bottle was sent by accident from a UK retailer. Can’t complain …especially when I reached out, and they said to “keep it”. If you’re a fan of Tamdhu, or any Sherry matured whisky, this should be right up your alley. Color is dark. Mahogany almost. Notes of apples and chocolate. Taste is sweet, hazelnuts, pears and chocolate. Really well balanced and mature beyond its 14yr age. Can easily pass for a 18+.
