Adam samples the fifth bottle from this year's Dare To Dram Advent Calendar - a wonderful cask-strength edition of Tamdhu.

I want to call this one "Very Berry Sherry" 😂 the rich raisiny notes almost reminded me of raisin butter tarts!

First Tamdhu. A fantastic whisky! Love the sherry shining through a really mature tasting spirit. Definitely a convert, and will be looking to collect some. Thanks again for your efforts!

I’ve only had a couple of Tamdhus and they’re really good, as was this one! Unexpectedly ended up enjoying this one at the Swartz Bay terminal so thanks for helping me kill some time

It's got a zing to it on the palate that isn't there in the nose. I'm getting classic movie theater licorice on the nose, tbh. I agree that it's Christmas-y. Has some star anise and nutmeg on the finish.

Butterscotch and honey sugared roast nuts on the nose. Fruit cake and whipped cream icing on the palate.

Also, i have to say, the opening of the videos with the snow reminds me very strongly of The Box of Delights. Not sure if that was a little bit before your time?

This was delicious but I didn’t think it was a sherry bomb. Seemed to taste it more on the back end. Definitely a bit spicy. Each sip tasted better. Need a full bottle to properly explore it!

I through for sure it was bourbon aged with the nice vanilla notes I found but was so surprised that it was Ex-Sherry. What’s up with my palate. After some time I found some sweetness like sour cherry candy once all the sugar on the outside is gone…weird I know.
