Tamdhu Cigar Malt II, WB: 218398

Tamdhu Cigar Malt II
Whiskey in the Unity Sensis Plus from Eisch, but the Blhas glass fits better. Colour: mahogany. Mood: Long Covid, long before Covid. Series: The Witcher. Wetting the Palate: An unusual mixture of blended malt and cognac: https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/204301/macnairs-lum-reek, Grande Champagne Daniel Bouju 1984/2022 Cognac Batch 2 - 38 years - C .Dully Selection (CDuS). Chaos is the same as it's always been. Humans just adapted better.

What do you say to non-smokers? Do I have to spoil the lungs as well as the liver or does this malt contain magical powers, transforming you into an invulnerable Witcher. If I Have To Choose Between One Evil And Another, Then I Prefer Not To Choose At All. With due respect, some episodes have passed (2h)

Nose: unusual ride on a horse, Arabian. Rider falls into a vat of syrup, Canadians. Tingling in the nose, freshly opened package of dried apricots, marzipan, walnut and chestnut mousse with lots of cocoa. Sunday roast, umami. Freshly cooked couscous with raisins. Banana bread tossed in molasses; a paradise apple distracts...

Mouth (about 2h): Sherry, sparkling hot. Caffè Americano or rather lungo. Evil is evil...Lesser, greater, milling. It's all the same.

Finish: Disappointing, nothing special, coffee, accidental inhalation of cocoa powder, lovage, angelica archangelica, sage, rosemary.

After 3 hours:

Mouth: sticky mouth, macerated Grenache and Shiraz from the Barossa. Paxarette. Mouth-filling and covering à defies whatever smoke lingers in the throat. Grilled bananas with chocolate shavings, herbs flash subtly, Mediterranean.

Finish: Not exuberant, but long, a little witchy, cinnamon-pimento-muscat. Bit into a peppercorn and spat it out, sucked on a juniper berry, haven't decided what to do yet... raw Jerusalem artichoke.

Mouth: Failed brussel sprouts stew in asparagus water...

Tamdhu Cigar Malt II

Water? Unnecessary, anyway 3 drops and almost a complete season with many smacking noises later:

Nose: Fine, delicate, fleeting sherry aromas. Raspberry Strawberry Jam.

Mouth: dark fruit jam with a dash of grappa and some spiciness of turmeric and nutmeg, accompanied by eucalyptus, refreshes the mouth. Rosemary sage tea flashes.

Finish: Spicy fresh herbal brew, becoming drier, not short. Impressions remain for a long time overnight. "You can't outrun destiny just because you're terrified of it."

Toss a lot more coins to this one…
