Tamdhu Batch Strength (Batch 4) (70cl, 57.8%)

Nose: Delicate oak spice, Black Forest gateau and oily walnut, then thick layers of maple syrup, orange marmalade and ripe barley. There’s a little marzipan in the backdrop.

Palate: Think Pavlova with summer berries, a sprinkle of brown sugar, freshly baked biscuits and flickers of baking spices.

Finish: Dried fruit, lemon zest and dark chocolate. This one certainly isn’t in a hurry.

Overall: Another winner from Tamdhu’s sublime Batch Strength range.
