Elegant Tasting Notes That Reward Every Sip
On the nose, Cardhu 12 Year Old opens with enticing aromas of golden honey, pear drops, and soft heather. Subtle notes of resin and honeyed nuts add depth, while a splash of water reveals hints of malt cereal, gentle spice, and faint wood smoke. On the palate, the whisky feels soft and medium-bodied, offering a smooth mouthfeel with sweet, fresh flavors. As it develops, a pleasant drying character emerges, adding structure without overpowering the sweetness. The finish is lingering and refined, marked by delicate sweet smoke and a clean, drying aftertaste.
Perfect for Relaxed Enjoyment and Everyday Occasions
