    Cardhu Gold Reserve

    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.

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Honeyed tinned stone fruits, toffees and a hint of strawberry with red apple and ginger coming through with a little water.

    Palate

    Fairly dry with biscuity oak and a little cinnamon as well as some development of those toffee and apple notes.

    Finish

    Gentle oak and (milk chocolate) caramel digestives.

    Overall

    Described as a "generous" whisky, it's a description that matches both the nose and its general easy-drinking nature.

    The first drink is good

    The first time you drink it, it's more impressive than cardhu 12yo. But when you finish a bottle, 12yo is better in the end.

    Lovely warm, sweet,easy drinking dram.

    Surprised how complex the notes are. Numerous, fudge, and toffee apples ... half a dozen drops of water free the spice.

    Not aged but worth a go.

    I usually avoid the whole no age statement thing but after having a bottle of this for Christmas I was impressed. Really rich and well rounded. Obviously not a aged whisky but they managed to get everything out of those sherry casks. Tastes like Christmas in a bottle.

    Not bad

    Not worth the money, try Aldi single grain at 10.99.

    A beginners opinion

    After a night drinking Jim Beam white label, thought I'd try something 'better'. First thing I noticed that was different was the smell, really delicious. Reminded me of mince pies, not too much alcohol either. What hit me most was the smokey finish. I found the finish very 'moreish'.
