Cardhu 2020 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky 11 Year Old · 2008 Vintage
In stock
Cardhu, the Queen of Speyside malts, has a generous spirit that is as well matched to that of hardworking founder, Helen Cumming, as it is to that of the busy bees that pollinate the hillside heather through the long days of summer.
Clean, elegant and perfectly poised, this Cardhu was made in small batches and matured in refill casks, as well as new and ex-bourbon American oak, drawing out tones of floral sweetness and spicy intensity in a playful exchange between wood and whisky.
Notes of fresh orchard pear, green apple, grape and pineapple join a trace of lemon peel on the nose, with a gentle mossy base. The texture is creamy-smooth, the taste sweet then juicy, with a buttery richness. Of a good length, the finish is spicy, with lingering warmth.
A unique release with very limited availability worldwide.
