Famed for its commitment to sherry maturation, Tamdhu's core range peaks with the 21 Year Old. Released in limited quantities each year, the Tamdhu 21 Year Old is matured in a combination of first-fill and refill American and European oak sherry casks, sourced directly from Jerez, Spain. Bottled at 47.5% and non-chill filtered, this is a full-throttled sherry bomb in the truest sense.

Nose

Nut oil, fig jam, stewed plums

Palate

Caramelized nuts, dark chocolate, toasted walnuts

Finish

Brown sugar, raisins, citrus peel

An unapologetic sherry bomb of the highest order. This one tickles the nose with aromas of overly-ripened plums, and berry fruit follows through on the initial sweetness with an explicitly dessert-ey array of sugary elements from the front palate into the protracted finish. When all is said and swallowed, you are left to ponder the mingling of candied citrus and ginger zest. And how marvelous an interplay, that.
