” The black rock ‘Carn Dubh’ in Gaelic transformed into what is known as Cardhu today. The Scarlet Blossoms of Black Rock from the Cardhu is a 14-year-old whisky, but the scarlet blossoms remind me of the red flag Helen Cummings would fly above the farmhouse to warn other distillers in the area about the taxman. Cummings founded the Cardhu Distillery, and when revenuers visited to collect, she made the distillery up to look like a bakery.

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Pale straw
Nose: Orange water and pomegranate are delicate aromas that delight the nostrils first. Baby powder sits over damp forest floor and wet bark. Jasmine and gardenia give a floral quality to the whisky at the end.
Palate: The mouthfeel is light with just a bit of oil. It tastes sweet like simple syrup and slightly fruity. Citrus peel and jasmine come through in the middle. The delicate palate then immediately changes to brutal tar and dirt on the finish. The finish has long baking spices to it including clove. Overall, the whisky has a mineral feel to it with amaretto.
