Cardhu 16YO Special Release 2022 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

THE HIDDEN PARADISE OF BLACK ROCK: Legend has it, one day the ancient black rock beneath Cardhu gave an earthshaking crack and a great warmth rushed forth from within, unleashing a tropical paradise. Biting wind became a soft breeze and lush aromas of passion-flower and pineapple danced through the distillery and its grounds, enveloping all it 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 splendoured hill, the Cardhu distillery grew with unmistakable allure. From its iconic red door, the distillery welcomed passers-by for centuries, inviting them with a vibrant whisky, crisp with the sweet taste of Scottish orchards. Here, finishing in Jamaican Rum casks, a vibrant tropical sweetness awakens. Golden colour vies with smooth texture, as heady sweet aromas of pink grapefruit and ripe mango beguile the nose. On the palate the smooth rum toffee-sweet taste offers drying, exotic hints of spiced pineapple and green banana. Bursting with lush aromas, a whisky that tastes of paradise.
