Cardhu, 15 yr old, Single Malt Scotch Whisky

700ml, 40.0% abv, Scotland (Speyside)

An older brother to the 12 yr old, this 15 year old has a few more years of maturation to build up more of the sweet, rich notes.

“Notes of honeyed pear, orange rind, ginger, and vanilla. Nicely balanced and satisfying”

This malt is extremely popular in Spain and France.

Let it sit for a while in your glass and you will find it opens up and becomes more complex.

Description

PALATE : Slow to venture forth and quite viscous straight. Cooling, then peppery and lightly charred. Growing richer, still sweet, but now with toffee and chocolate; burnt sugar on a Crème Brûlée. With water, less viscous and sweeter with almost no acidity; very pleasant and easy to drink.

FINISH : Smooth, light and slightly drying, with attractive bitter chocolate notes. Not over long, with a hint of faint smoke at the end.
