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.

The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve
The Glenlivet Founder's Reserve is a non-age-statement (NAS) Speyside single malt Scotch whisky released in 2014-2015 as a smooth, entry-level flagship expression. Created by Master Distiller Alan Winchester, it pays tribute to founder George Smith's 1824 methods by using first-fill American oak casks to produce a creamy palate with fruity, citrusy notes.
