Cardhu's Amber Rock Single Malt Scotch Whisky is double matured in toasted American oak ex-bourbon casks resulting in a full bodied whisky packed with flavours with a predominant vanilla and citrus flavour.
The name 'Amber Rock' comes from the colour of the whisky, as well as the Gaelic meaning of Cardhu - 'Black Rock'
Cardhu comes from a region well known for notes of honey and spice which reveal a balanced, well-paced Speyside!
Nose: Cinnamon starts things off followed by a hint of sweetness from honey and orange zest before a touch of vanilla joins the nose.
Palate: Citrus with a delicious chocolate caramel before more vanilla and a hint of oaked spice all rounded off with yet more honey.
Finish: Smooth with a subtle citrus and oak.
Jim Murray has scored this Cardhu Amber Rock - 70cl 40% as 87.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible.
‘The delivery, in which the Tangerine cream is in full flow reflects the better elements of the nose.’
