This cask was split across 3 retailers, and the WhiskyBase listings for these range from 88 to 91. As someone who likes the cola fizziness I tend to get from Tamdhu, I had high expectations.

Nose: Complex rancio with elements of raisins, blackberry, strawberry compote, sarsaparilla, milk chocolate, macademia, but alas with a significant sulfuric overtone

Palate: Oily, nearly butyric couverture chocolate, cashew butter, dates, wine gums, sulfur.

Finish: Short and rather subdued for the presentation. Moscato green grape stem notes, a brackish undercurrent that brings to mind liquorice,and then some beautiful hints of banana bread, as well as rose, lychee and raspberry (a.k.a Ispahan) macarons buried far, far too deep.

Score: 83

There's a beautiful cask underneath the sulfur, though I feel it doesn't quite flatter the Tamdhu distillate. What a shame. There are some beautiful notes that are buried too deep. The finish is thin considering age, sherrying and ABV.
