Cadenhead's 2013 vintage spent twelve years in refill Oloroso hogsheads — a small-batch release across plural casks — delivering the distillery's signature rich, nutty, chocolate-and-dried-fruit character at an honest 46%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting notes (independent review of this exact bottling): the nose shows dulce de leche, soft caramel, raspberry sorbet, and baked pear; the palate brings blueberry, crystallised ginger, and an oily, weighty mouthfeel with a savoury rye-bread edge; the finish offers mandarin, vanilla, and lemongrass. A second review (8.3\/10) adds copper coins, clementines, orange zest, cloves, nutmeg, cocoa powder, chocolate truffles, and dark caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy buy it? Because sherried Tamdhu is one of Speyside's great value styles — distillery sherry-cask releases cost far more — and Cadenhead's refill-hogshead profile shows the malt with unusual clarity.
