Description
As a standout inclusion in the “Rare by Nature” 2020 Special Releases, this limited-edition expression offers a rare opportunity to experience Cardhu at a powerful natural cask strength of 56% ABV. Distilled in 2008, this 11-year-old single malt underwent a unique maturation journey using a combination of refill, new, and ex-bourbon American oak hogsheads. This specific wood selection enhances the distillery’s traditional character with a deeper, spicy intensity. Diageo’s annual Special Releases are keenly followed by collectors. To fully appreciate the intricate layers of this 750ml treasure, we recommend adding a splash of water to temper the heat and reveal its underlying complexity. You can rely on efficient liquor delivery across South Africa from Decanter Liquor when you add this premium whisky to your collection.
Tasting Profile:
- Nose: Fresh orchard aromas of green apple and pear transition into tropical notes of pineapple and juicy grape with a mossy, damp-earth base.
- Palate: A thick, buttery texture that coats the mouth with flavours of toasted hot-cross buns, honeyed malt, and lemon zest.
- Finish: Long-lasting and warming, defined by a persistent kick of white pepper and gentle oak tannins.
