Tamdhu 10 yr. Single Malt























Price: $87.95 (750 ml)

Location of Distillery: Speyside, Scotland

Steve's Review
  • Overall rating: 8.5
  • Smokiness: 6
  • Sweetness: 5
  • Nice dark colour. Tastes like fire...a spicy fire. Doesn't leave much of an aftertaste. Take it slow otherwise the spiciness builds up too much. Drinking it is like tamming a wild fiery horse .. made of spicey scotch.

Will's Review
  • Overall Rating: 8.5
  • Smokiness: 8
  • Sweetness: 5
  • Delicious. A bottle of pure gold. Reminds me of Laphroaig quarter cask - it's quite smokey and peaty. The flavour comes out with a little bit of warmth on the glass. 10/10 A++ would buy again
Random Category - What tactical thing would you have/use while drinking this scotch?

Will - The Unbreakable Umbrella by Tactical Things. Totally tacticular.
Max - I would take a tactical yoga class before drinking this fine scotch.
Steve - Tactical scotch glass. I also never leave home without my tactical underwear so those too obviously.
