- Description
- Cardhu's elegant Speyside signature is preserved in this James Eadie bottling, aged for 9 years in first-fill bourbon hogsheads that impart vanilla, stone fruit, and a gentle spice. The palate shows honey, orchard fruit, and light cereal malt with a creamy mouthfeel characteristic of the distillery's refined house style. The finish is medium and gently warming, with lingering oak sweetness. Suits those who appreciate refined, fruit-forward Speyside without heavy sherry influence.
