Cardhu comes from one of the oldest of the Speyside distilleries,located near the River Spey.
A well loved whisky, Cardhu is an easy-going Speyside whisky and this 15 Year Old certainly doesn't disappoint. An excellent representation of a Speyside whisky!
This stunning 15 Year Old from Cardhu is a stunning expression having been aged for longer than the regular 12 year old expression and the three years makes all the difference allowing extra time to develop the distillery's characteristic orchard fruit, barley sugar malt and spices.
Colour: Deep old gold.
Nose: A fruity richness and spicy complexity. Vanilla notes and tropical fruit aromas dominate as soon the fruits become dried, think light fruit cake. Sweet, spicy and rich, finishing with toffee and toasted coconut.
Palate: Relatively peppery, growing richer. Still sweet but now with more toffee as well as chocolate. With water this Speyside becomes less viscous and sweeter with almost no acidity.
Finish: Smooth and light with attractive bitter chocolate notes. Not too long as a hint of faint smoke lingers towards the end.
