Cu Dhub Bottling Note
Pronounced 'Kaddoo', Cu Dhub Black is a slightly honeyed, thick, smoky offering from the Speyside distillery.
The nose is well-rounded and smooth. Notes of gentle peat and wafting smoke. Hints of dark nuttiness and espresso beans. A touch of honey with vanilla fudge and a little whisper of something medicinal. The palate is quote thick and sweet. Notes of fudge and aniseed, a touch of something nutty with cappuccino and gentle smoke. The finish is quite long with toffee sweetness and developing oak.

Nice smooth on palette long lasting after taste slight hint of licquorish well worth trying
An interesting malt to supplement your collection
This recreation of the infamous Loch Dhu black whisky will I'm sure divide people, as it is a truly unusual dram. Light and a little sweet on the nose, which is dominated by the burnt, coffee/liquorice/chocolate nose of the large caramel content. On the palate, a trifle insipid, but matches the nose, with a light mouthfeel. Not much in the way of wood comes through. The whiskey equivalent of Guiness, this is not the classiest whisky ever made.
It is easy if a bit bland to drink, but it's a great dram to offer friends, as you can be almost sure they won't have tried it.

Bought a bottle of this, with Loch dhu in mind, although not even in the same league at all, still worth having a bottle in your collection,
