Enticing and silky smooth, this is the quintessential Cardhu. Glowing with notes of golden honey and delicate, fruity character.
For many, the classic Speyside malt whisky.
Golden honey.
Heady, with pear drops, heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes.
Soft, pleasing and medium bodied.
Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; sweet and fresh, then drying.
Lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.

in brief… Attractive, subtle complexity; elegant and worth knowing.
in a sentence… Spirity nose with sweet apple blossom and heathery aromas, well balanced palate with good viscosity, warming with a drying finish.
At full strength, heady, nose prickle, pear drops and tightly integrated heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With a little water, still harmonious but less pronounced, allowing some malt cereal, soft, spicy wood, moorland and faint traces of wood-smoke to appear.
Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; short punch, sweet and fresh, then a pronounced drying effect. Moorish. Enjoyable at any time, with little or no water.
Quite short. Some lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.
