- Description
- Cardhu's 2020 Special Release 11-year-old single malt draws from a combination of refill, new, and ex-bourbon American oak casks to create a notably honeyed profile. The varied cask regimen gives this Speyside malt approachable sweetness balanced by subtle spice and orchard notes. A lighter-touch expression that emphasises the distillery's fruity character over oak influence. This works well as an introductory Cardhu or alongside dessert and lighter fare.
