You hit the nail on the head with these 2. Personally I find the Tamdhu a bit cloying, but then I find the same with a lot of sherry bombs. If I want sherry I'll buy sherry 😂 The Glenallachie treads that line better for me, I can still taste the whisky but I get the warm dried fruit.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Someone suggested that same thing. Buy sherry. I need to do that. I've never had it.

[@petevj]

@@whiskeyisajourney PX is nice but you can keep Oloroso and Fino. 🤣

[@p____p4tel]

The best thing about this 'face off' is just how torn you were during the entire process. Brilliant battle of the bottled.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

These battles are so much fun to do and they reveal a lot about your preferences. Cheers!

[@greenvalley651]

great comparison, I really appreciate every scotch review you do for us.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks! I have really enjoyed the diversity of my channel. I appreciate all the nuances of all the different types of whisk(e)y that's out there. I will keep the scotch videos coming. Next Friday I have a 6 bottle flight of 10 year old peated scotches. It was very tough picking a top bottle. Cheers!

[@deeshmond]

Both great! Tend to lean Tamdhu. I think I actually prefer the Glenallachie 12 to both though, especially at its excellent price.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I definitely like the price of the 12. Cheers!

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I’ve never tried Tamdhu at all, but I do really like the GlenAllachie 15. Sweet and fruity.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Tamdhu is more viscous and heavier on the sherry notes. Maybe a little too much sherry cask influence.

[@kevinnordby4808]

Great head to head Peter! Now I want to try both 😂

[@whiskeyisajourney]

They are both good. Glen Allachie has less cask influence in my opinion so take that into consideration.

[@Robert.Sheard]

I've never actually had either of these. I have a GlenAllachie, but it's a younger one. Never had anything from Tamdhu. Nice side by side.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Thanks! If you like sherry cask influence then you will love the Tamdhu.

[@LordFire_T]

Haven’t tried Tamdhu, hope I’ll be able to get one next year. Glen Allachie has been very good, all that I’ve tried.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

They are both good, but like I said in the video the Tamdhu has much more of a sherry cask influence. Maybe just maybe a little too much. But it's still good.

[@Foggy89]

I have both of these in my cabinet, although I happen to have an older Glen Allachie 15, so it's had less time under Billy Walker's control. I think the more recent Glen Allachie 15s, like the more recent 12s, clearly show the benefits that Billy Walker brings to Sherry-matured single malt. I also rate the Glen Allachie higher than the Tamdhu, but if you're looking for a non-cask strength Sherry Bomb, it's hard to beat the Tamdhu 15.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Tamdhu cask strength is pretty good as well.

[@TheReal_DeanD]

I got both of these on sale from my local total wine just under $100 each. Woohoo!!. I have to do this match up one day.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Score! Great price on those. I'm a big fan of each, but like Tamdhu more. Enjoy the matchup!

[@tonylastname6468]

Yup. Now I need to try a Tamdhu. I'm a fan of the Glen Allachie and your struggle makes me whisky curious. Sorry about the blend.

[@whiskeyisajourney]

Tamdhu has more sherry cask influence so be prepared for a sherry bomb.

[@tonylastname6468]

@@whiskeyisajourney I like the sherry bombs. As long as it's not just that.

[@McIntyresMalts]

Good combo versus! On my list of ones to do too

[@whiskeyisajourney]

I'll be interested to see how it goes for you. Cheers!

[@vangstr]

Tamdhu has more fleshed out flavors. Glenallachie is a bit pulled back.

[@tonylastname6468]

Tamdhu, more like, Tamdon't. Just kidding, haven't watched it yet.

[@whiskeyisajourney]
