Clean, elegant and perfectly balanced. This whisky has been produced in small batches, matured in refill casks, as well as new and ex-bourbon American oak. The ageing draws out tones of floral sweetness and spicy oak in a playful exchange between wood and whisky

This year’s cask strength releases, bring to life the unique character of each of the distilleries. The bottlings are all extremely rare limited editions.

Tasting notes

Color

Light gold, good pearling

Aroma

Hints of fresh wood pencil, fruity top notes of green apple, green grape and pineapple. Traces of lemon peel as a sweet fresh fruit salad, on a faintly mossy base.

Taste

A natural strength, creamy and unctuous in texture, deliciously buttery, warm and spicy, reminding of toasted hot buns.

Finish

Quite long in the finish with some white pepper for a lingering warmth.

Cardhu Distillery


Founded by Helen Cumming in 1811 as an illicit distillery and licensed in 1824, Cardhu is the first distillery to be officially founded by a woman. In 1872, Elizabeth Cummings, daughter-in-law of the founders, took over the running of the distillery and set about refining the flavour and character of the whisky we know today – the effortless, elegant, generous spirit, born of hard work and determination.
