Cardhu 12 Year Old, 700ml
While John Cumming began illicitly distilling in 1811, his wife Helen officially secured a license in 1824, making Cardhu the first legal distillery pioneered by a woman.
Elizabeth Cumming, John's daughter-in-law, took over in 1872, further refining the whisky's character and establishing its iconic reputation.
Cardhu draws its water from the Mannoch Hills, softened by peat, which contributes to the smooth and mellow character of its whisky.
Owned by Diageo, Cardhu plays a vital role in the heart of Johnnie Walker blended whiskies, adding a layer of smooth elegance to these blends.
The Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt is a classic Speyside expression known for its smooth, mellow character. Matured in a mix of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks.
Nose: Floral and fruity aromas with hints of honey, vanilla, and light spice.
Palate: Smooth and creamy with balanced sweetness, malt character, and subtle notes of dried fruit, spice, and oak.
Finish: Medium-length with lingering sweetness and a touch of oaky warmth.
