Tamdhu Cigar Malt 2


29th September 2022
Tamdhu announce the 2nd limited release of their big sherried first fill European Oak Oloroso Sherry Cask matured Cigar Malt.

Tamdhu Cigar Malt 2Tamdhu Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky has announced the second release of their big sherried Cigar Malt, Tamdhu Cigar Malt II which once again celebrates an age-old pairing of whisky and cigars, although smoking a cigar alongside the whisky is optional.

Tamdhu Cigar Malt II is very much 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 is said to mimic the spice, aroma, and mouthfeel of aged tobacco leaves, resulting in a richness of texture and strength of flavour.

Described as having 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.

Sandy McIntyre, Tamdhu Distillery Manager, said: "After the success of our debut Cigar Malt, we are delighted to announce the second expression in the series. This latest release honours the age-old cigar and whisky pairing, and boasts a robust flavour profile designed to stand up to the finest cigars and complement their rich aroma. It’s the perfect representation of our dedication to full-term sherry cask maturation.”

Tamdhu Cigar Malt No II has a RRP of £195.99 and will be available from specialist online whisky shops such as The Whisky Exchange, The Whisky Shop, Hard To Find Whisky and Master of Malt
