Cardhu Gold Reserve is a whisky that's as smooth and golden as its namesake. Cardhu Gold Reserve is a blend of Speyside and Highland single malt whiskies, each aged for at least 12 years. The result is a complex yet well-balanced whisky with notes of honey, vanilla, and citrus. Cardhu Gold Reserve is the perfect choice for those looking for a sophisticated yet approachable whisky.
Cardhu is the latest Diageo distillery to have a little core range shake up with the launch of a no age statement single malt (or two). Created using hand-picked toasted oak casks, Cardhu Gold Reserve offers something different to the classic 12 year old with a fruitier nose and a dry, warming palate.
Honeyed tinned stone fruits, toffees and a hint of strawberry with red apple and ginger coming through with a little water.
Fairly dry with biscuity oak and a little cinnamon as well as some development of those toffee and apple notes.
Gentle oak and (milk chocolate) caramel digestives.
Described as a "generous" whisky, it's a description that matches both the nose and its general easy-drinking nature.
Having read the reviews, I picked one up expecting a not tragic experience. The first glass would have earned this one 4 stars, but eventually, quality degraded - I discovered a lot of.. artificial? (in perception) taste, which just didn't make a lot of sense. I would not recommend, and will not buy again.
Had Cardhu before but possibly not the gold. Very enjoyable, a real change from an English one I had. This whisky I find soft, slightly sweet, light and easy on the palate
Bland boring disappointing tipple. Poured my glass away down the sink rather than drink it.
A smooth whisky, aroma is honey and dried fruits with a hint of smoke. A little less taste than I'd expect from the aroma but pleasant enough,
Very good ?
