Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden amber with sunlit honey tones and a touch of copper.
Nose
Bright, honeyed nose with ripe apple and pear, lifted by soft malt and vanilla. Subtle almond and cereal notes anchor the aroma, with a hint of toffee. A gentle sherry whisper adds warmth, introducing dried fruit and toasted oak without overpowering the delicate Speyside sweetness.
Palate
Silky and inviting, this Cardhu unveils honeyed orchard fruits—apple and pear—woven with vanilla, toffee, and a soft sherry kiss. Dried fig and raisin emerge with toasted almond and a whisper of spice, all carried on a creamy, light-to-mid body. Finishes warm and refined, leaving a gentle sweetness and a lingering caramel note.
Finish
Silky and lingering, the finish releases honeyed vanilla and orchard fruit, tempered by gentle toasted oak. A delicate spice creeps in, then slowly fades to a warm almond-nut echo, leaving a clean, mellow glow that invites another sip.
