Description
Looking for a Speyside single malt that perfectly balances tradition with approachable elegance?
Cardhu Gold Reserve represents over two centuries of Scottish whisky craftsmanship from one of Speyside’s most historic distilleries. This hand-picked cask matured expression pays tribute to founder Helen Cummings while delivering the region’s signature silky smoothness. Unlike bolder expressions such as Tomintoul 16 Years or the complex Mortlach 12 Years, Cardhu Gold Reserve focuses on accessible refinement.
• Distillery: Cardhu – established over 200 years ago in Speyside’s foothills
• Region: Speyside – renowned for elegant, approachable single malts
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced strength for neat sipping or mixing
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Hand-picked toasted oak casks for enhanced complexity
• Tasting Notes: Rich baked apple and toffee aromas lead to sweet orange zest, caramel, and malty biscuit flavors, finishing with menthol hints and velvety cocoa tannins
• Best Served: Neat in balloon glass, with water, or over ice to unlock fruity notes
Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly versatile for Malaysian palates – the gentle spice and fruit-forward profile makes it an excellent sweeter aperitif that doesn’t overwhelm newcomers to single malts.
Ideal for: Corporate gifts, introducing friends to Scotch whisky, quiet evening contemplation. Pairs with: Rich Malaysian desserts like kuih lapis or dark chocolate treats. Recommended for: Those seeking smooth sophistication, or collectors exploring premium Asian whiskies alongside Scottish classics.
