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. — 2 years ago

Definitely a sherry bomb has a bit of heat and while it has a long finish it’s all in the tongue and no cheeks. The nose is light. Good not amazing. — a year ago
