That is the newest Tamdhu Batch Energy launch so far as I do know. It’s a mixture of first-fill and refill Oloroso sherry casks. I’ve additionally tried Batch 4, Batch 3 and Batch 1 in case you wish to examine.
Tamdhu Batch Energy (56,8%, OB 2021, Batch #006)
Nostril: it’s largely the woody notes popping out, as an alternative of the sherry, I’d say. Later we get chocolate notes, mocha and raisins, with some vanilla. A slight trace of Brandy de Jerez as nicely (type of an alcoholic Oloroso be aware with a risky element). Leafy notes and roasted nuts within the background. Chocolate comes out over time. Folds open properly, it’s pretty fashionable however more and more convincing.
Mouth: related impressions actually. Oranges and hints of berries, but it surely focuses extra on roasted nuts, burnt sugary notes, black pepper and different savoury notes. Ginger chunks, nutmeg and clove. You actually get the heavy oak char after some time. The alcohol can be fairly current, however this may be tamed with a couple of drops of water. It additionally brings out chocolate notes and hints of mocha.
End: good size, with extra chocolate and toasted oak.
A tasty whisky with a couple of harsh edges from the heavy oak char. Excessive energy with a bit roughness – it feels just a little pressure-cooked. Total I nonetheless suppose this isn’t the most suitable choice of their core vary. Obtainable from TyndrumWhisky or The Whisky Change for example.
