An exceptional taste experience
Clynelish whisky is closer to an Island style than other mainland malts, with a complex and fragrant nose and an agreeable, long finish that leaves a lingering fresh-fruity flavour. This 14-year-old is a less heavyweight whisky that's deliciously drinkable and makes it an excellent aperitif.

A bit of history
The crafting of Cardhu Gold Reserve pays tribute to the generous nature of our founder Helen Cummings. Featuring hand-picked toasted oak casks to bring forward its notes of honey and sweet baked apple.
Though they take their name from the Gaelic for ‘black rock’, the malts of Cardhu have a warmth and cleanliness of taste, often described as silky, making them both elegant and approachable
