More questions

Cardhu 12 Years Whisky is a single malt scotch whisky distinguished by its sweet and smooth character, perfect for being enjoyed either neat or with a splash of water to enhance its flavors. Produced in the Speyside region, the heart of whisky distillation in Scotland, this spirit matures for 12 years in oak barrels that impart a golden amber color to the liquid and enrich its aromatic profile.

Cardhu 12 greets the nose with enveloping notes of pear and honey, with a hint of oak and chocolate. On the palate, it reveals itself to be balanced and smooth, with a rich taste of ripe fruit, vanilla, and a slightly smoky aftertaste, complex yet approachable. The finish is long and pleasantly warm, leaving a sensation of sweetness and spice that lingers.

Presented in an elegant gift box, it is the ideal gift for whisky enthusiasts or for those who wish to discover the richness of scotch single malts. The perfect pairing could be with slightly spicy dishes or enjoyed after dinner, as a companion to deep discussions or captivating reads.

The story
Cardhu's origins trace back to illicit distilling by John and Helen Cumming from 1811; the distillery was officially licensed and named Cardhu in 1824. Throughout the 19th century it remained under the Cumming family's management and expanded, later being sold to Johnnie Walker & Sons at the end of the century. It subsequently became part of larger industry groups and is today operated by Diageo. Over its history the site underwent enlargements and reconstructions (late 19th century, 1960s) and has been important both as a single malt and as a key component in famous blends.
Distillation
Distillation in copper pot stills; double distillation.
Ageing
Aging in oak casks; maturations designed to deliver the soft, fruity profile typical of Speyside.
