Bottled as part of Diageo's 2021 Special Releases collection, this Cardhu 14 Year Old was distilled in 2006 and was matured primarily in refill ex-bourbon casks before a brief finish in ex-red wine casks. Despite that injection of dark fruits, this remains a light and zesty malt with hints of lychee and green apple.
Nose
Lychee, coconut, cream sherry, chardonnay
Palate
Sweet grapes, apple skin, oak spice
Finish
Floral notes, black pepper, white grapes
Sweetness dominates the nose with lychee, coconut and light cream sherry, underpinned by a touch of chardonnay. The palate stays sweet with grapes, apple skin and soft oak. Water smooths it further. The finish is short, fragrant and lightly peppered with sharp grape notes.
