Cardhu Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1980's Bottling) 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glow and mahogany edges.

Nose

An inviting bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, apple and pear, woven with warm honey, vanilla and creamy toffee. Subtle almond notes mingle with a gentle sherried depth, hinting at dried fruit, raisin and fig, while a soft spice and polished oak lend a graceful, lingering sweetness.

Palate

A silky, honeyed palate with orchard fruit—apple and pear—carried by a warm sherry nuance. Creamy vanilla and almond mingle with subtle oak and gentle spice, delivering a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel. Ripe sweetness lingers, with hints of cocoa and toasted nut, finishing with refined warmth and quiet complexity.

Finish

Long, refined finish with warm vanilla and honey that slowly reveals orchard fruit and almond. A delicate sherry sweetness coats the palate, tapering to toasted oak and gentle spice, leaving a polished, enduring glow.
