Cardhu Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) (75cl) 12 Year Old

Colour

Sunlit golden amber with honeyed depth and a delicate pale copper glow.

Nose

Delicate, honeyed nose with orchard fruit notes of ripe pear and green apple, intertwined with creamy vanilla and a hint of malt. Subtle almond and toffee emerge, a whisper of citrus zest, and warm, softly seasoned oak.

Palate

Silky and approachable, this Cardhu caresses the palate with orchard fruit—ripe apples and pears—lush honey and vanilla, and a light malt sweetness. Subtle oak yields a gentle spice while the sherry influence adds a whisper of dried fruit and almond. The body remains smooth and balanced, with creamy texture and a warm, lingering finish that softly echoes spice and toffee.

Finish

Silky and prolonged, the finish floods the palate with honeyed vanilla and orchard fruits, a whisper of almond and light oak spice. It lingers with warm, refined sweetness, fading to a gentle, comforting glow.
