Cardhu 16 Year Old (Special Release 2022)

Tasting Notes

This 16-year-old Cardhu whisky is a delightful treat, combining the distillery's signature fruity and spicy notes with a unique twist from its finishing in ex-Jamaican rum casks. The nose greets you with a delightful medley of apples, peaches, vanilla, baking spices, marzipan, and pastry aromas. On the palate, it's a lively dance of peppery spice, creamy smoothness, and a hint of chilli warmth, balanced by the vanilla sweetness and a refreshing saline edge. The finish lingers pleasantly with a peppery, spicy, and fresh character, leaving you longing for another sip. This special release pays homage to the distillery's original name, Carn Dubh, or 'the black rock,' transporting you to a hidden tropical paradise with every dram.
