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.
Smooth & not complex. Very good one for beginners.
Extremely pleasant, very smooth to my palate. A taste to cherish.
Pleasant nose of honey and lemon, palate a little flat but pleasant with some hints of black pepper. Slight bitter finish but still pleasant.
Received this as a gift from my lovely wife but wasn’t too excited about trying it. I was happily surprised. Great nose, great taste, great bit of smoke at the end that was just enough to be pleasant. Lost a bit with water and I wouldn’t advise adding any due to the low ABV but otherwise a very very nice drink. This is definitely a bottle I will keep in my cabinet regularly.
Smooth, great flavours, Cardhu 12 has been my favourite malt since the mid 1980's.
