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.
there is a peat and smoke flavor, smooth to the palate, and a lasting peat and smoke flavor after swallowing. one of the smoothest scotches. one of my favorites with the Balvenie.
just the best i ever had !!!!! just amazing scotch
got as a gift not bad at all very well rounded not too complex but some nice honey/toffee notes followed by a gentle smoke. For the price very good indeed
I am wondering if I got a bad batch, as I was looking forward to trying this but ended up thinking the 'Card' in 'Cardhu' is short for 'Cardboard', unfortunately. It just did not seem to have any personality or distinguishing features. I am a peat lover, but that's not it - I tried Glenmorangie Quinta Rubin the same night and loved it. I guess it all comes down to opinion (shocker!).
Fantastic Scotch! It's my favorite Whisky
