Tasting notes;
Appearance/colour; Light golden amber.
Nose; Orange, honey, butterscotch, the cake part of a Jaffa cake, the nose is a little light.
Palate; Quite spicy and quite full bodied a reminder of an older Cardhu 12 year. The spice is there, a little ginger, tiny amount of white pepper, a little vanilla and cream creeps in and a pleasant orange notes arrives with other fruit.
Finish: Longer than expected, remaining spicy and a little fruity, (mixed fruit gums).
