A well-balanced, gentle single malt from Speyside. Cardhu 12 is a very well put together malt.
Good body, decent sweetness, richness. Streaks of smoke, apple peels, bruised pears.
Smooth, rounded, gentle sweetness, soft peat. A little smoke whispers sweet nothings.
Long, dry smoke, malty touch of peat.
Nice smooth dram. More pears than apple. Didn’t get any smoke that the description stated. Was expecting....well....a bit more tbh. I’ve had Gold Reserve several times and find that has a toffee apple taste that lingers. Found the pear aftertaste doesn’t stay that long. It’s a nice dram, great for those new comers to whisky but with the Gold Reserve usually 3-5 pounds cheaper and as low as £25 when on offer, I’ll be sticking to that.
I just bought my first bottle of Cardhu and am surprised at how smooth it is. Very nice whiskey indeed. It could become my ‘go to.’
got 3 bottles in my cabinet had them 10 years
Smooth and delicate. Perfect for a summer evening with the one you love.
Normally I don’t like scotch whiskey, I prefer rye, but I got a bottle of Cardhu for Christmas and I actually enjoyed it. I highly recommend it if you don’t like a bold scotch. It’s smooth.
