Production Methods

Cardhu 18 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky that is produced in limited batches using traditional methods. The whisky is double-matured in American oak hogsheads and European oak ex-bodega casks, which impart different flavors and aromas to the spirit. The malted barley is carefully selected, and the water used in the production process comes from the Mannoch Hill, which is known for its purity and softness. The fermentation process takes place in large wooden washbacks, and the distillation is carried out in copper pot stills. The resulting spirit is then aged for a minimum of 18 years, which allows it to develop its rich and complex flavor profile.

It is recommended to serve the whisky in a Glencairn glass to fully appreciate its aroma and flavor profile.

Expertly crafted using traditional methods this whisky is delicious. On the nose, it has a delicate aroma of honey and floral notes with a hint of oak. The palate is smooth and well-rounded, with flavors of creamy toffee, vanilla, and dried fruit, with a subtle hint of smoke. The finish is long and warming, with a gentle spiciness that lingers on the tongue.
