The Cardhu 14yo Speyside Whisky is a product of Diageo, a renowned English company with a long history of producing fine Scottish whisky. This particular whisky is a 14-year-old single malt from the Speyside region and is part of Diageo's Special Release 2021 collection. It is a Cask Strength whisky with a high alcohol content of 55.5% and has undergone a unique double maturation process. The whisky was first aged in traditional American white oak casks before being transferred to European red wine casks for finishing.
The Cardhu 14yo Speyside Whisky is known for its rich and complex aroma and taste. The nose is fresh and lightly fruity, with notes of white grape, lychee, green apple, pear, and a hint of orange zest. There is also a light spicy note that comes from the wine-seasoned wood. On the palate, the whisky is soft, creamy, and full-bodied, with a sweet taste that suggests homemade toffees. There are also hints of Parma violets, red apple and pear fruit, and crisp, clean oak. With a dash of water, the whisky becomes delightfully creamy-sweet and smooth, leaving just a hint of spice.
The finish of the Cardhu 14yo Speyside Whisky is short, sweet, clean, and warming, with a lingering perfume in the aftertaste. With water, it becomes smoother still, with a warming pinch of white pepper appearing in the aftertaste. This harmonious and charming whisky has fruity and meadow-sweet aromas, with a sweet, luscious, and well-rounded taste, accented by a striking and unusual perfumed note.
Quite a young, but already formed whisky, dense and assertive, Cardhu 14yo compensates for the lack of finesse and depth with youthful enthusiasm and recklessness. The nose opens with bright mineral tones, oak, honey-floral notes, drying plaster, stone chips, coated tablets, oil-metallic shades, vanilla, sweet caramel motifs, and green grass. The taste is powerful and rich, featuring spicy oak, creamy caramel sweetness, floral honey tones, vanilla, a pepper wave, and candied citrus fruits. The finish is spicy and refreshing, with notes of oak, orange peel, flowers, herbs, honey, propolis, and tobacco.
Overall, the Cardhu 14yo Speyside Whisky is a high-quality single malt that is perfect for whisky enthusiasts and collectors. Its unique double maturation process and high alcohol content make it a standout product in the market.
