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.
Great
Just beautiful.
bought a bottle because it was on offer,don't think I would like to have payed full price,a pleasant enough dram but nothing to write home about,had to work hard to get flavour on pallet.won't let it go to waste, after all I am Scottish.
On being offered one at a mate's place, I approached it with the kindly, fake enthusiasm of someone trying not to betray the fact that he secretly thought he could find a more interesting malt, blindfolded, on a Somerset farm. In the monstrous, theatrical pomposity of the bad loser, I can only assume he was leaning heavily on beginner's luck but nonetheless, I'll be claiming this as my discovery in a quite short time. Blinding. I discovered it, you know.
very nice drink smooth /toffees /butterscotch /gentle finish good whisky for the price,
