This whisky is a longer aged whisky from Cardhu, having stayed in the cask for 18 years giving this whisky a richer, more complex flavour.
Cardhu is presented in an elegant decanter with a beech wood stopper and is pretty typical of a Speyside malt.
The 18 year old is a quietly assured extra-mature whisky that opens slowly with real finesse to reveal an exquisite structure appealing to the connoisseur:
Nose: Not forward, yet attractively natural and in time rich, balanced and very complex. Delicate scents of wild rose, menthol and polished leather rise above a soft base of Christmas cake or buttery pastry.
Palate: The soft, delicate, fruity core is cradled by rich, chocolate-edged flavours, the texture, chocolate and fruit combining to evoke a cherry liqueur chocolate truffle.
Finish: Exciting and complex, the conclusion is long, smooth, gently drying and rich in cocoa.
