Mid 1970s BB 3 Year old Scotch TamdhuA former Scottish blending company that produced third party brands, primarily for export market distributors. Founded in 1967, it eventually ended up as part of the Allied Domecq group before eventually being dissolved in 2002.

earthy tea

with also some fresh vanilla

chocolate and lots of prunes right at first nosing with a nice smokiness (burning leaves and wood)

you’ll notice a gentle hint of smoke

Flavor: On the palate

but quite amazingly

including Cardhu and Clynelish

lightly sharper and spicier than the Clontarf Single Malt

alongside grain whisky from Cameronbridge

it’s surprisingly refreshing

Balanced by underlying oak and chocolate tones
