Cardhu Gold Reserve

Rich amber, in sunlight becoming antique gold color. In the nose is shy and soft at first, and beautifully smooth: fresh, yet also mellow. Tinned fruit salad, with waxy red apple skins. The palate presents bigger flavours and drier than the nose suggests, with its initial sweetness cut by crisp orange zest followed by a subtle mineral dryness. Medium to light bodied, fluid and smooth in texture. Tangy hints of menthol with velvety cocoa tannins and a grassy herbal note. Faint hints of almonds and apples follows a light saltiness.
