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.


Wow, it's so smooth!
Absolutely lovely. Some say it's too sweet but I love that about it. I get loads of banana, toffee and sherryness. Feels like a Christmassy type of drink to me. Lovely drop. Will be buying more.
A genuinely well rounded singly although.. Smoother a day silkier with fruit and honey layered after taste.
My favorite Single Malt, period.
Bought this mistakenly for sherry. Pricewise it was comparable to the Glenlivet 12, but has a more herbal taste in my opinion. I kept smelling star anise for some reason. Will be going through this bottle slowly as a sipper.
