Origin and Heritage
Born in Scotland’s Speyside region, Cardhu 12 is crafted by the historic Cardhu Distillery, founded in 1824 by Helen and John Cumming. As one of the first distilleries led by a woman, Cardhu holds a unique place in whisky history, contributing to blends like Johnnie Walker while shining as a single malt. Aged for 12 years in ex-bourbon and refill oak casks, this whisky reflects Speyside’s legacy of balance and finesse. Its global acclaim, including a Gold Medal at the 2023 International Spirits Challenge, makes it a prized choice for Nairobi’s affluent sippers seeking authenticity and prestige.
Taste Profile
Cardhu 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (40% ABV) delivers a harmonious and approachable profile that captivates with every sip. The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of honey, green apple, and pear, laced with subtle heather and resinous notes. On the palate, it unfolds with a silky sweetness, blending creamy toffee, orchard fruits, and a hint of toasted oak, balanced by a gentle spice. The finish is medium-length, warm, and smooth, with lingering notes of caramel and malt. Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to unlock its nuances, this whisky’s elegance shines in a Glencairn glass, making it a favorite for Kileleshwa connoisseurs and Spring Valley hosts.
Ideal Pairings and Best Use Occasions
Cardhu 12’s versatile profile pairs beautifully with Nairobi’s culinary delights. Complement its honeyed notes with smoked salmon, grilled nyama choma, or creamy cheeses for a refined tasting experience. For dessert, pair it with dark chocolate truffles or vanilla panna cotta to enhance its sweetness. This whisky excels in cocktails like a Rob Roy or as a neat pour during intimate gatherings. Serve at room temperature (15–18°C) to savor its full aroma.
