Cardhu 12 Year Old
You may not have heard of Cardhu, but you've probably tasted it. It's a prime component of nearly all Johnnie Walker blended whisky. Europe, particularly Spain, had quite a taste for the single malt bottling. It was so popular in fact that they changed it to a blended malt to keep up with demand. This did not go over so well and Cardhu righted that wrong back in 2005.

Nose: At full strength, heady, nose prickle, pear drops and tightly integrated heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With a little water, still harmonious but less pronounced, allowing some malt cereal, soft, spicy wood, moorland and faint traces of wood-smoke to appear.
Palate: Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; short punch, sweet and fresh, then a pronounced drying effect. Moorish. Enjoyable at any time, with little or no water.
Finish: Lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.

Chivas Regal Gold Signature 18 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is made by blending over 20 unique single malts, predominantly from Speyside region, each aged for at least 18 years. The proprietary blending and aging process gives the whisky its rich, amber color, as well as an aroma of dried fruits, melted butter and dark chocolate. The whisky is velvety and luxurious on the palate, where further notes of dark chocolate are accentuated by floral tones and a mild, sweet smokiness. The finish is warm and elegant, punctuated by both honey and oak.
