Cardhu 16 Year Old 2022 Special Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A limited-edition of some lush and tropically sweet Cardhu.

John Cumming was one of the rare Whisky smugglers that successfully transitioned to legal operation when the oppressive tax and production laws were eased. Thus, Cardhu was born in 1824. You may know Cardhu as one of the signature core malts of Johnny Walker, but it was a single malt long before the blenders got their hands on it. Happily it’s been restored to its former delectable single malt glory where it is pleasing customers and winning awards once again.

Released in 2022, this special edition of Cardhu 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been dubbed a vibrant taste of paradise. Probably because this is a spectacularly lush and tropically sweet Spirit with flavors of peppery wood spice that have been rounded by Rum casks. Aged in refill and re-charred American Oak before its finished in Jamaican Pot Still Rum-seasoned barrels, prepare those taste buds for a creamy and full-bodied Spirit with sweet, fruity, and malty notes that are rounded out by spicy, dry, and crisp oak. Savor in a Whisky glass neat or with a few drops of water to further open it up.
