Whisky.com reviews the Cardhu 200th Anniversary Wine Cask Edition 12 Years. Cardhu is considered a benchmark among the malts of the Speyside region for its aromatic and flavourful qualities. This single malt whisky was created and bottled to celebrate the distillery’s 200th anniversary. It matured for 12 years exclusively in wine casks, which is a first even for a distillery that has been in existence since 1824 and is steeped in tradition.

We only ship to the netherlands!

Have a warm welcome to whiskey.com where find Spirits meet my name is Looney Ling I’m the senior Taste of whiskey.com and today we have a brand new bottle here on our CK it’s a cardo cardu 200th anniversary bottling from The Distillery and this is a special wine CK

Edition 12 years of age 40% avv and price at 38 . 990 here in Central Europe the 12-year-old cardu is very famous and it’s the heart the lead mold of Johnny Walker red label and it’s has definitely a part in the Johnny Walker Blue Label

As well and uh the cardu had some time where they were overboard where uh the amount of bottles were very rare or very low and uh in the meantime they produced more and more and more but demand has grown a lot over the last years so that

They are not always able to satisfy the needs of the customers my personal point of view so that they stopped selling the 15 and 18 year old uh cardu what what you still find on the market are last bottles of those and uh therefore to help customers with some diversity uh cardu

200 years is a wine cask matured whiskey and this is from my personal knowledge the only whiskey from cardu which has a kind of finishing or uh Cask maturation in different way um saying that I think this bottle was completely matured in wine casks that’s not only a

Finish but a complete uh maturation in wine CK have a look on the card box here limited edition 1824 a lot of distilleries will have their 200th anniversary this year because um the uh the possibility to buy licenses for mold whiskey distillery in the highlands started in 1823 La late 1823 and really

In 1824 so most of the distilleries not most a lot of them have their founding date of 1824 on the label and uh yeah here they say wine cask matured and uh yeah moth watering red berries black Kars rich flavor exclusively matured in X wine cusk here it

Is so this is what we have to say it’s the typical wonderful classical bottle of cardu which I like very much because uh you have this yeah meance of the whiskey it’s a different Optical view on the whiskey compared to a circular shaped or cross-section circular cross-section uh bottle of

Cardu uh of other whiskies very extreme fruity red berries already on the cork I do not have to to smell on the whiskey to to find those red berries they describe on the back of the card box and here we go your red berries apple crumble warm apple baked

Apple little sweet notes a little Frost topping on this apple crumble going over into caramel and in the back a little bit of The Cask a little spiciness coming through from The Cask and wine CK typically are French wine cask lmoa wine Cas might be but the intensity the

Aromatic note of lusan CK isn’t there probably is not from France probably from from Spain or somewhere else they do not tell yeah cheers mhm h a lot more spiciness than the typical 12-year-old has yeah wow spiciness in my mouth dark chocolate in the back a lot of different

Spices little vanilla showing through wow this is a complete different cardo the character has changed a lot yeah the fuess now the red berries are well behind and the spiciness of The Cask yog is really present yeah mhm this is a complete different cardu the

15 and 18y old had been well a little bit a little bit more Cas influence because of that longer maturation little bit more spiciness but this is real really another level of spiciness for a cat yeah that’s it for today thank you very much for Watching
