Gaumen: Etwas wässrig im Mundgefühl, weiterhin leicht fruchtig. Verdünnter Apfelsaft mit einem Spritzer Zitrone, sehr mildes Karamell und Malz. Zarte Eiche, etwas Malz, grüner Tee.
Abgang: Mittellang, aber weiterhin eher sanft. Das Karamell wird überraschend stärker, die Äpfel und das Malz kommen wieder klar zum Vorschein. Zum Ende hin wieder der Tee und eine leichte Kräuternote.
Cardhu (formerly also: Cardow) is a distillery near Cardow, Knockando, Scotland, which was founded in 1824 by John and Helen Cumming. The distillery was rebuilt in 1884, extended several times and now belongs to Diageo.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
