For the second 12 months in a row, Tamdhu is bringing again the age-old pairing of Scotch and Cigars with the discharge of Cigar Malt II. The second unique bottling in what could be turning into an annual sequence follows the award-winning first launch.
Tamdhu Cigar Malt II is characterised by Tamdhu’s dedication to full maturation in first fill European Oak Oloroso Sherry Casks. Like every leaf in a cigar, the casks contribute to this whisky‘s distinctive pure colour and strong taste, which is designed to enrich the profile of the world’s greatest cigars.
Bottled unchillfiltered and at 53.8% ABV, the whisky mimics the spice, aroma, and mouthfeel of aged tobacco leaves, leading to a richness of texture and energy of taste. A balanced, creamy nostril offers approach to crystallized ginger, wealthy golden syrup, and hints of sherry oak. The palate finds winter fruits soaked in sherry complementing the opulent, thick mouthfeel, which is adopted by a wealthy malt loaf and vanilla cream. A protracted, lingering, and rewarding end brings a touch of sherry, with honeyed apricots and toasted nuts.
“After the success of our debut Cigar Malt, we’re delighted to announce the second expression within the sequence,” Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery Supervisor. “This newest launch honours the age-old cigar and whisky pairing, and boasts a strong flavour profile designed to face as much as the best cigars and complement their wealthy aroma. It’s the proper illustration of our dedication to full-term sherry cask maturation.”
Just one,000 circumstances of Tamdhu Cigar Malt No II might be obtainable to buy by way of the model’s official web site and specialist retailers within the UK, USA, Germany, Netherlands, France, Taiwan, China, Korea, and Australia. It’s priced at £195.99 per bottle.
