Cardhu 16 Year 2022 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whiskey (750 ml)

Description

The hidden paradise of black rock. 

As our legend goes, one day the ancient black rock beneath Cardhu gave an earth-shaking crack and a great warmth rushed forth from within, unleashing a tropical paradise. Biting wind became a soft breeze, and lush aromas of passionflower and pineapple danced through the distillery and its grounds, enveloping all they touched with a rare, exotic quality. At midnight, the chasm closed, silent once again forevermore. Only the vibrant whisky distilled that day remained to tell the tale. 

Standing on the wind-whipped heather fields that surround the Cardhu distillery today, the verdant lilac grounds belie the truth of Cardhu's origin name, "the black rock" , Carn Dubh. From this splendored hill, the Cardhu distillery grew with unmistakeable allure. From its iconic red door, the distillert welcomed passersby for centuries, its whisky inviting, vibrant, and crisp with the sweet taste of Scottish orchards. 

A Jamaican Rum Cask finish awakes an unusual tropical sweetness in this precious Cardhu dram. Colden color vies with smooth texture, as heady sweet aroms of pink grapefruit and ripe mango beguile the nose. ON the palare the smooth rum toffee-sweet taste offers drying, exotic hints of spiced pineapple.
