Cardhu 16 Year Old Special Release 2022

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 58%

A rummy Cardhu here from the 2022 edition of the always popular Diageo Special Releases. This one has a pleasant dose of funky tropical sweetness added by finishing the whisky in ex-Jamaican rum casks, while the theme of 'The Hidden Paradise of Black Rock' is a nod to the original name of the distillery, Carn Dubh, or 'the black rock’.

Tasting Note

Nose

Lovely fruit, apples, peaches, vanilla, baking spices, marzipan, and pastry.

Palate

Peppery, creamy, chilli, vanilla with a saline refreshing edge.

Finish

Peppery, spicy and fresh.

Overall

Very elegant and classic with subtle influence from Jamaican rum casks.
