Warning: This is one of the best whiskies we have EVER nosed!
This is a terrific Tamdhu 2006 Vintage cask strength release from the Dutch independent bottler The Ultimate.

As with all The Ultimate releases, this whisky is natural colour and non chillfiltered.
Our Tasting Notes:
Nose: STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING X1000. Humidor. Earthy funk. Rawhide. Powerful butterscotch notes. Oil lamps.
Palate: Heavy sherry presence. Very ripe red fruits. Oranges that are starting to turn. Dark chocolate (80%+). Raisin cookies.
Finish: Feral, untamed sherry dominates. Reese’s peanut butter cups. Further orange notes. Roasted coffee beans.
