The Cardhu 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky "The Scarlet Blossoms of Black Rock". As the fable goes, upon a hill of blackened rock grew a mysterious tree with scarlet blossoms of irresistible charm. Their sweet aroma of honeycomb and spice was so alluring, it transformed the dark hill into lush abundance. Where crimson petals had fallen, a distillery took root. The spellbinding scent filled the air, infusing Cardhu with its distinctively enchanting character.

In this golden malt, white grape and lychee aromas frolic with melodious fruits and meadow flowers. Composed in wine-seasoned wood, it has a heather-honeyed sweetness. Fragrantly, it charms with a creamy smooth texture and perfumed taste, enriched by lush red berries. Smoother still with water, the finish carries a warming pinch of white pepper. Like a single bloom, this Cardhu is remarkable to behold.

Bottled at cask strength from refill American oak casks and finished in red wine casks.
