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.
This is my first single malt scotch whisky. I actually have Laphroaig 10 and Talisker 10 but couldn't dare getting into single malt world with them. So I bought this bottle to train myself before opening those bottles. I know they are not in the same league but I couldn't get any peat smoke or taste. However I quite liked it. It is really smooth and easy to drink, smells and tastes like apple cider.
Very smooth, one of my absolute favourites and I find it even better than the gold. You will want more than one glass!
Wasn't going to try this as I was told it was made by JW (not a fan). Glad I was talked out of it with a tasting. Initial nose of honey, smooth on the palate with a great slightly peaty finish. I'm pretty bloody happy with this one.
Very smooth and at a great price
To me it's like having a glorious chat with an old dear friend - nothing to be apprehensive about after 25 years. Warm and mellow - allways look forward to the time together - and to the next time. Excellent value.
