Nose: Lightly perfumed, malty and dry with some clover, banana and lemon.
Palate: Soft, gentle, sweet and clean with typical Tamdhu juicy maltiness and a hint of clover honey.
Finish: Soft but short.
Comment: Mild-mannered though some would say bland.
Score: 7
Taster
Nose: Sweet lime (am I being suggestible? The whisky is that colour).
Palate: Firm, smooth. Dry toffee. Flowery. Lemony.
Finish: Slightly resiny. Peppery.
Comment: No, I don't think I was being suggestible. An unusually complex Tamdhu.
Score: 7.8
