No age statement (NAS) on this one but it still has a rich and full finish. It not one that lasts super long but is complete and great. Didn’t think I was a fan of Tamdhu but this changes that.

Official commentary - The distiller does so by bottling the Cigar Malt unchillfiltered at 53.8% ABV, which the distiller’s notes show the whisky to mimic the spice, aroma, and mouthfeel of aged tobacco leaves.

Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu’s distillery manager, explained that Cigar Malt II has a balanced, creamy nose that gives way to crystallized ginger, golden syrup, and hints of sherry oak. It tastes of winter fruits soaked in sherry with a thick mouthfeel, followed by a malt loaf and vanilla cream.

The finish is lingering and brings a hint of sherry, with honeyed apricots and toasted nuts. — 18 days ago

This afternoon/evening was our first of two baby showers. Not only were we surrounded by friends & family, but we were also surrounded by some good wine & other drinks. This was one of the selections at our whisk(e)y & cigar bar.

Probably the most popular selection of the evening amongst the guys. — 5 years ago

Firstly, merry Christmas to all!

Noticing that label variations exist for the Singleton 12, I became curious for why this is the case. Turns out Singleton is a brand (bottler?) that represents multiple distilleries. This is from Glen Ord at the edge of Black Isle peninsula in the Scottish Highlands.

To be frank, I've never been one to bat an eye when approached with Singleton - always seems to be the choice pour at bars in every corner of the world. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by this offering - orange, honey, and caramel on the nose. The palate is wood and spice driven with a subtle minerally and gingery finish. I liked it. Smooth and easy to drink. — 4 years ago

Sample bottle. Notes of honey and apricot/peach. Very light color, no sherry cask aging. Layers of honey on the palate with a short finish. Nice change from the usual Highlands sherry expressions. — 4 years ago
