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.


Just recently returned from Scotland. Had the opportunity to sample the 12 and 18 year old Cardhu. Both are very nice. Seems peculiar but I think I liked the 12 year a little better. Prices back here in the US beat the Scotland prices, and the bottles in Scotland are 700ml, where here they’re 750ml. I will definitely be purchasing this on a regular basis.
I first bought the Cardhu in West Africa in 1966 and this has been my all time favourite malt whisky.
Lovely gentle taste that lingers on the tongue and evokes memories of many a pleasant day spent in Scotland
Just found a bottle of 12 year old 70cl Cardhu gift set with 2 glasses for 25 euros in Eleclerc..France.. looking forward to a drop tomorrow
Absolutely lovely!!!e Elegant rounded ... excellent to newbie
