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 strange,there is no arrival to speak of but the finish is superb.
This is the absolute best Scotch malt there is at this dollar point! I love the aroma that i inhale as I take a sip. It is like liquid gold in my mouth! Amazing flavor with no strong after taste and a pleasant burn as it goes down! I prefer to sip one or two fingers UNDILUTED by ice or water in my favorite chair!! I have tried many other malts out there, some at higher price point and some lower BUT I always come back to Cardhu. Thank you!
first time I have tried this malt, would recommend to all malt drinkers
A true classic single malt. Does everything really well - sweetness with an earthy quality, hints of fruit, sherry notes and smoke. Well balanced and slips down beautifully easily and smoothly. Also widely available in Spain, where I am spending more and more time.
Liked it better than johnny walker blue
