What the Distillery Says

Introducing the fourth edition of our multi award-winning Batch Strength Series. If you’ve had a dram of Batch Strength 001, 002 or 003 then you’ll have an inkling of what’s in store for you. Rich natural colour and exclusively sherry cask matured intensity. As with each batch in the series, Batch Strength 004 is distinctive and differs slightly in style and strength, so your first sip is sure to hold some anticipation. Batch Strength 004 is bottled un-chill filtered at natural colour and at 57.8%. Undoubtedly, a malt that whisky connoisseurs would be proud to have in their cabinet.

What Gary Says

Nose:  Sherry, dark fruit, raisins, balsamic, chocolate, honey, oak, mincemeat pie, smoked brisket with subtle smoke and earthiness.
Palate:  Thick and warm, syrupy sweetness, fudge, dark fruits and berries, caramel, oaky earthiness.
Finish:  Long and damp, berry jam with spices.
Comments:  This is a damn lovely pour. Non-age stated, but reminds me of the 10 yr on steroids. I’m torn between wanting to give Paul a big hug, or a punch for introducing me to Tamdhu (ok – not really torn) because I am definitely more than a bit frustrated that there isn’t a ton of Tamdhu on our side of the pond. Thankfully, this is one that I can get – and it doesn’t break the bank (and maybe with the new TTB standards of fill, more will be coming our way!)  Just delicious.  The last of over 100 reviews in 2020, and one of my favorites for sure (only the 10th ‘Must Buy’). If you’re a lover of sherried single malts but haven’t tried this – I’d highly recommend picking this up.

Rating: Must Buy
