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.
I am a patriotic Scot, but live overseas and am actually fairly new to whisky. I've started running whisky tasting sessions here, where we try lots of different whiskies and judge them on what we personally think of them (rather than what anyone else here, on MoM may have said). This opinion is based on the fact that we (a multinational group of about 10 - 12 of us) were drinking this alongside some others. On that basis, my honest assessment (ours, in fact) was that this was pretty tame. More than one of my members commented simultaneously that it was 'for women'.So, sorry if you're a Cardhu fan, but this was definitely a well below average whisky. (By the way, one of our regular favourites is the Glenfarclas 105).
This was on sale at my local liquor store so I bought a bottle although I never liked scotch - to my surprise I loved sipping this its great sorry I missed it all there years
Говорят его создавала женская рука. Возможно это так. Нежный, ароматный, в аромате, как и во вкусе чувствуются сухофрукты и ... духи! Очень элегантный и приятный солод! Дыма там нет и торфа тоже, а вот бочка иногда угадывается. Рекомендую! (Translation using Google Translate: They say it created a woman's hand. Perhaps this is so. Delicate, fragrant, flavor, and taste like dried fruit, and felt ... perfume! Very elegant and pleasant malt! There is no smoke and peat, too, but the barrel is sometimes guessed. I recommend!)
Man this is one of the best I have tested in this category till date. I am single malt fan and this re-established my faith in the same. I had this bottle for a while but once I opened this my wish was that why didn't I did so sooner. Amazing taste and no hangover. I will rate it 9 as I have more to taste.
