Cardhu is the latest Diageo distillery to have a little core range shake up with the launch of a no age statement single malt.
Created using hand-picked toasted oak casks, Cardhu Gold Reserve offers something different to the classic 12 year old with a rich texture and a balance of sweet fruit, dark chocolate, toffee and spice.
Cardhu is known for being an easy-drinking and sweeter style of whisky and this Gold Reserve is no different having been aged in toasted oak casks.
Nose: Shy and soft at first, and beautifully smooth: fresh, yet also mellow. Tinned fruit salad, with waxy red apple skins.
Palate: Bigger flavours and drier than the nose suggests, with its initial sweetness cut by crisp orange zest followed by a subtle mineral dryness.
Finish: Tangy hints of menthol with velvety cocoa tannins and a grassy herbal note. Faint hints of almonds and apples follows a light saltiness.
