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.
The nose was apples and plums. Smooth taste but the promised depth did not come through.
Tried 40% Cardhu, purchased at €23, 40% King of Scots (Douglas Laing) and a splash of Talisker 10 in a home-brew blend. Lovely.
Very ‘easy’ to drink. Not a harsh start and a smooth, good finish fitting the name. Overpriced, yes, if you buy at between £40-£50 but if you can grab it as a bargain under £35 - we’ll worth as a staple drinking evening/after dinner whiskey
Smooth as silk and honey sweet and therefore boring. Nothing to excite the pallette. Wouldn't buy it again. People who like to drink whisky, but don't actually like whisky, will love it.
Excellent and very smooth and quaffable. Perhaps lacking a bit in character but a great whisky to share with other(s).
