Tamdhu Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky has announced the release of Cigar Malt II - the second exclusive bottling in an already award-winning series that celebrates an age-old pairing.
Cigar Malt II is characterised by Tamdhu's dedication to full maturation in the finest first fill European Oak Oloroso Sherry Casks.
These casks, like each leaf in a cigar, contribute to the Cigar Malt's distinctive natural colour and robust flavour - complementing the profile of the world’s best cigars.
Bottled unchillfiltered and at 53.8% ABV, the whisky mimics the spice, aroma, and mouthfeel of aged tobacco leaves, resulting in a richness of texture and strength of flavour.
It has a balanced, creamy nose giving way to crystallised ginger, rich golden syrup, and hints of sherry oak. Winter fruits soaked in sherry complement the opulent, thick mouthfeel, which is followed by a rich malt loaf and vanilla cream. A long, lingering, and rewarding finish brings an unmistakable hint of sherry, with honeyed apricots and toasted nuts.
Nose: Crystallised ginger, sherry oak and rich golden syrup
Palate: Sherry-soaked winter fruits, giving way to rich malt loaf topped with vanilla cream
Finish: Honeyed apricots, then toasted nuts
