Product description
For years the 12 years old expression was the only official bottling of Cardhu (with a notable addition of 25 and 27 years old released in 1998 and 2000 respectively as a part of Rare Malts Selection).
The new millennium brought greater competition to the single malt market but also hundreds (if not thousands) of new offerings and Cardhu Distillery did not stay behind. The 15 years old made a debut in 2011 and remains part of the distillery core range.
Nose: crispy and fruity, apples, caramel, toffee, raisins, candied oranges and hints of nutmeg.
Palate: initially very sweet, caramel, crème brûlée, honey, dried fruits, figs, raisins, getting slightly bitter and spicy towards the end – oak, ginger, nutmeg.
Finish: medium long, fruity sweetness balanced with oaky dryness and spices
