Cardhu 15YO

Cardhu Distillery – previously called Cardow – must be one of the best located distilleries in Speyside. High on the hills on the north side of the Spey Valley. The malt itself – which is presented in an elegant decanter-like bottle with a beechwood stopper - is pretty typical of a Speyside malt. It is highly approachable – smooth, sweet, mellow and uncomplicated. It has good body and length. The malt whisky produced at Cardhu has a cleanliness of taste – often described as silky.

Creamy and smooth, gently tingling, elegant and sweet aromas with vanilla and honey, in the background sherry spice with hints of red fruits, the sweetness and the wood aromas (fresh sawdust with some resin).
