This latest release, which is one of the oldest and rarest releases from the Speyside based distillery, is said to deliver notes of Sherry, treacle toffee, dried coriander, berries, citrus and dried spice on the nose. Followed by notes of Sherry, orange, blackcurrant, molasses, chocolate coconut and hints of coffee on the palate.
Tamdhu 43 Year Old, comes presented in a bespoke individually
numbered hand-blown crystal Victorian style decanter, housed in a hand-crafted,
octagonal, wooden and classic brushed metal box.
Commenting on the launch, Sandy McIntyre, Distillery
Manager, said: “At Tamdhu, our whisky is the ultimate artistic expression. So
to launch this landmark collection we didn’t want to get side-tracked by
gimmicks. Or look away from our whisky. Because it’s there, in the spirit
itself, you see our craft, passion and dedication.”
Limited to 100 bottles, Tamdhu 43 Year Old, will be
available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £13,500.
