Founded by Helen Cumming in 1811 as an illicit distillery and licensed in 1824, Cardhu is the first distillery to be officially pioneered by a woman.
Two women, in fact: in 1872, Elizabeth Cummings, daughter-in-law of the founders, took over the running of the distillery and set about refining the flavour and character of the whisky we know today – the effortless, elegant, generous spirit, born of hard work and determination.
Selected from 'very old oak casks' - Cardhu Special Cask Reserve is richer and sweeter than the hugely popular 12 and 15 year old and.
This Cardhu Special Reserve comes from batch number Cs/cR.13.15.
Nose: Dried apricots and pineapple with thick waves of delicious caramel and barley with a slightly honeyed aspect. Old oak then appears later on, bringing with it a plenty of spice.
Palate: Cereal and barley at the forefront, surrounded by fudge, rasins, citrus and a nice helping of dark chocolate. Cinnamon and ginger later enter the palate.
Finish: Long and intense with spice.
