| Tasting Notes | |
| Oliver Klimek | Colour: Gold - Nose: Green apples, walnuts, vanilla, marzipan, hints of ginger. - Palate: Honey, stewed applse, mixed nuts, raisins, candied ginger, nutmeg and hints of pepper. - Finish: Long, fruity and spicy. - Overall: Rich, creamy and complex, this bottling shows that Cardhu can be more than an unoffensive ‘summer dram’. |
