Aged for 15 years, this is a delightful expression from Speysider Cardhu. Allow this one to come to you, and you'll discover layers of fruity, toffeed magic.
Oats and apples, malty caramel, plenty of fresh fruit going on. Hints of marzipan and almond pastry, sugared buttermilk pancakes.
Butterscotch, lychees and lots of banana! Rich tea biscuits dipped in a warm milky tea.
Super light and creamy, foam bananas, with suggestions of yoghurt and granola. There is an almost rum like quality to this one.
I find the 12 year to be smoother haha, but I can find more richness and flavours here.. However, it's not the best whiskey at it's priceclass.
Very nice flavor. Great bouquet.
I love the predominant note of toffee. There are indeed layers of fruitness, raisins mostly. A BIG step up from the standard 12. Cheers, Tomas, Sweden.
This was my first expedition into "expensive" whisky. Wow. What a change from the £25 bottles that I used to get from the supermarket. Very smooth. It's warming, but doesn't burn on the way down. Toffee notes and long finish. Just have to decide whether to go to the next price level now. This could get expensive!!
OK, the first thing I will admit is I am no accomplished expert on tasting scotch. However, for what it is worth I have dabbled in Balvenie, Glenkinchie, Glenlivet, Johnny Walker Blue, Black and Platinum. and Oban. This Cardhu is my go to sup. WONDERFUL.
