Cardhu 11 Year Old Special Release 2020

HED40382 70cl 56%
Clean, elegant and perfectly poised, this Cardhu was made in small batches and matured in refill casks, as well as new and ex-Bourbon American oak, drawing out tones of floral sweetness and spicy intensity in a playful exchange between wood and whisky. Notes of fresh orchard pear, green apple, grape and pineapple join a trace of lemon peel on the nose, with a gentle mossy base. The texture is creamy-smooth, the taste sweet then juicy, with a buttery richness. Of a good length, the finish is spicy, with lingering warmth.

Cardhu

With its water sourced from the peat-softened streams of the Mannoch Hills, high above the postcard-pretty Spey Valley, Cardhu distillery has been synonymous with the smooth style of Speyside malt which bears its name since the late 19th century.

Located near Archiestown in Moray, Cardhu was founded by erstwhile whisky smuggler John Cumming in 1824. While Cardhu whisky is a vital component in blends released under the Johnnie Walker brand, Cardhu distillery is best-known for the smooth, sweet style of Speyside single malt which has made it the number-one single malt brand of owner Diageo.

Cardhu is most commonly seen as a 12-year-old expression, however in recent years a number of other special releases (including two Rare Malt age-statement expressions, a 22-year-old cask-strength release and a no-age-statement Special Cask Reserve expression) have proved successful.
