Aged for 16 years in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished in Jamaican rum casks, it is bottled at 58% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCardhu is known for its light, honeyed Speyside style, and this Special Release adds a tropical twist. The rum cask finish brings ripe fruit and sweetness to the distillery's gentle character, while the high strength gives it real intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose starts shy, with brioche and lemon drizzle cake, before opening into a big bowl of fresh fruit. The palate is bolder, with raspberries dipped in chocolate, damson and roasted pineapple, richly honeyed with tropical fruit and peppery wood spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 Special Releases were presented with fantastical artwork, and Cardhu's red label and tube show vivid, colourful birds among tropical foliage. It is a vibrant collectable from one of Scotch whisky's most anticipated annual series and a fine gift for a Speyside fan. Each year's Special Releases are bottled once, so when this edition is gone it will not be made again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brioche and lemon drizzle cake, opening to fresh fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raspberries dipped in chocolate, damson and roasted pineapple, with honey.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical fruit and peppery wood spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardhu (Diageo Special Releases 2022)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116 proof (58% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon barrels, finished in Jamaican rum casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 58% ABV, taste it neat first, then add water a few drops at a time; the tropical fruit really opens up.
