An older style (75cl) bottle of Cardhu Single Malt matured for 12 Years from the Glens of Strathspey.
This bottling comes with a soft drawstring bag to hold a miniature bottle which is then to be given to a friend - this is called Share the Cardhu taste.
Nose: Pears with a hint of sweetness from candied fruits and brown sugar as a little bit of pepper makes things interesting.
Palate: Light hints of dried fruits are easily noticed with leather and more pepper.
Finish: Faintest hint of cocoa before yet more peppery spice.
