Cardhu Special Cask Reserve 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“Sampled scotches at 2 other noted distilleries then tasted 6 of Cardhu's best. Special reserve cask Cs/cR.13.15 was noy being sampled as the word got out and they were running low. Tried it up against their 18 year old and Gold reserve and it stood head and shoulddrs above the rest. GET IT BEFORE ITS GONE. One of the best examples of Cardhu's zubtle honeys and pear on the nose. Treads on the tongue like agels feets and fills the mouth. Great balance and presence a the way down. Among the best I have ever tasted. Long but su tle finish. Others on the tour had the same experience and 7 were snapped up that day. The ratively inexpensive cost makes it an even more surprising delight.”

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Dried apricots and pineapple. Thick waves of caramel and honey'd barley. The "old oak" makes a spicy appearance later on.
Palate
Plenty of cereal and barley at its centre, surrounded by home-made fudge, raisins, citrus zest and a good chunk of dark chocolate. Cinnamon and ginger pop up in the mid-palate.
Finish
Long and intense with spice.
Overall
A pleasing step-up from the Cardhu 12 Year Old.
