Tasting Notes
Imagining myself lounging in an idyllic orchard, the Cardhu 11 Year Old Special Release 2020 engulfs my senses with a delightful fruit-forward aroma. Crisp apples, juicy pears, and bursts of grapes dance merrily, gradually unveiling tropical notes of pineapple and Galia melon. A nostalgic whiff of rhubarb and custard boiled sweets, coupled with hints of pencil shavings and gentle cinnamon, adds intrigue to the fruity symphony. On the palate, a velvety creaminess envelops the mouth, complemented by a dusting of icing sugar that amplifies the fruit-forward flavors. Marmalade on toast, raisins, and a whisper of white pepper tease the taste buds, creating a harmonious ensemble. The finish lingers with a medium-long warmth, as the pepper and cinnamon notes linger, leaving a delightful aftertaste that beckons for another sip.
