CARDHU AGED 14 YEARS DISTILLED: 2004 / ABV: 55.0% / REGION: SPEYSIDE
Nose: A mild nose-feel, dry, soft and gentle, with a richly fruity initial aroma; orchard pears, peaches and cherries in syrup, a trace of banana. As it opens the nose becomes fragrant and floral, with perhaps a hint of lily of the valley, and a suggestion of vanilla cream.
Palate: At natural strength, smoothly creamy in texture, while the fruity taste is immediately sugar-sweet, as with soft fudge. There’s a trace of perfume in mid-palate then hot and spicy notes build towards the finish. Drying overall.
Finish: Spicy, with a lingering, embracing warmth. With water, smoother but still spicy, with a pleasant dryness lingering on the tongue.
Whiskeybase has scored this Cardhu 14 Year Old Diageo 2019 Special Release 86.10/100 overall on their site through customer recommendations with one customer saying ‘I am loving the polished oak spice and waxy profile.’
