Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
During the early 19th century, the British Crown was still recovering from the exorbitant costs of the Napoleonic Wars, and Parliament was tasked with the responsibility of finding new sources of revenue that could support Britains European hegemony. In 1823, Parliament passed the Excise Act, which required illegal distilleries throughout Scotland to apply for licensure and levied taxes on any spirits they distilled.Just one year after the passage of the Excise Act, John and Helen Cummings founded the Cardhu Distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland. In an effort to avoid the taxes levied on distilled spirits by the Excise Act, Helen would disguise the mashing and fermenting of grains at the distillery as bread-making. In addition, while the tax collectors dispatched by the Crown enjoyed the tea and crumpets that she prepared, Helen would raise a red flag on the roof of her barn in order to warn her neighbors that Excise Officers had descended upon the region.By 1872, the Cummings had passed the distillery on to their daughter, Elizabeth, and by the turn of the century, Cardhu Distillery had earned a reputation as one of Scotlands finest producers of single malt Scotch whisky. At the same time, Cardhu whisky became an increasingly critical component of Johnnie Walker blended whiskies.Today, Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky remains one of the few single malts produced by the distillery. The whisky is aged for 12 years in American oak casks, and has an aroma of pears, raisins and dates that give way to harmonious notes of spicy wood, moorland, gentle peat, honey and caramel. The finish, which is well-balanced and fresh, has a touch of sweet vanilla and stone fruits.Pick up a bottle today!
