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.

Glenfiddich Fire & Cane
Their Experimental series features innovative and ground-breaking single malts, expressions that explore the limits of whisky. There's an India pale ale-finished single malt, one that was aged in Icewine casks, as well as Project XX that had 20 industry veterans collaborating for its release. The Fire & Cane expression is an equally bold venture, a marriage of Glenfiddich's signature sweet style with an atypical smokiness. Peated whisky and bourbon-barrel-aged malts come together to be finished in Latin rum casks for an exquisite profile of smoke and toffee sweetness.
