Tamdhu Quercus Alba Distinction - Release 3
This is the third edition of Tamdhu Quercus Alba Distinction, a single malt fully matured in American oak sherry casks. It takes six years to produce these special casks, first, oak grown in North America is transported to Spain and cut into staves that are allowed to air dry in the warm Mediterranean climate. After the coopers have assembled and toasted the casks, they're seasoned with oloroso sherry before finally making their way to Tamdhu to mature its single malt, resulting in a rich, fruity profile that's brimming with layers of honeycomb and mellow oak.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Vanilla shortbread and custard are backed by toasted oak and dried orange wheels, with a touch of herbaceous malt nestling beneath.
Palate
Rich, sweet notes of sherried fruit and oak char, with butterscotch, honeycomb, and juicy, dark plums.
Finish
Oaken vanilla, chocolate caramels, marmalade, dates, and gentle peppery warmth.
