Cardhu Malt 12 Years is the luxury single malt whisky from Speyside. It is much-loved single malt produced in limited quantities by a deliberately slow distillation process, and matured for 12 years in specially selected oak casks. This whisky may take longer than many malts to reach fruition, but it is time well spent, as can be judged by Cardhu’s exceptionally smooth and mellow character.

The malt itself – which is presented in an elegant decanter with a beechwood stopper – is pretty typical of a Speyside malt. It is highly approachable – smooth, sweet, mellow and uncomplicated and often described as silky.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Golden Honey.

Nose: Heady, pear drops; heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With water, still harmonious but softer; malt cereal, spicy wood, moorland and traces of wood smoke.

Palate: Well balanced, smooth mouth-feel, sweet and fresh, then drying. Moorish. Enjoyable with little or no water.

Finish: Lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.

Enjoy it neat or over ice, or served long with a splash of water, mizuwari style.
