Cardhu 12 Year Old
Product Description

While it’s not often seen here in the UK, Cardhu is the biggest selling single malt whisky in Spain, with its soft, sweet character the perfect match for the warm climate. A much-loved distillery, it makes easygoing, charming Speyside whiskies, and its 12 Year Old is a perfect introduction to the style. With clean, crisp oak and sweet malt evoking flavours of honeyed flapjacks and homemade caramel squares, this is one for the sweet-toothed.

This is a soft and mellow single malt, and I love the way it just melts in your mouth with a beautiful texture, and delicious apple and honeydew melon flavours. Ashish Basnet, The Whisky Exchange

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Notes by Stuart P

    • Nose

      Sweet and fruity, with aromas of grilled pineapple, honey-soaked pears and fresh melon. Notes of cut grass, hay and ripe mango, too – very appetising.

    • Palate

      Soft, silky mouthfeel, with plenty of pineapple and mango up front, followed by honey, banana and toffee, with some dried-fruit and vanilla richness. Very approachable, but still decent levels of complexity.

    • Finish

      Soft and fruity, with the raisin and honey notes lingering the most.

  • Producer's Notes

    • Appearance

      Golden honey.

    • Nose

      At full strength, heady, nose prickle, pear drops and tightly integrated heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With a little water, still harmonious but less pronounced, allowing some malt-cereal, soft, spicy wood, moorland and faint traces of wood-smoke to appear.

    • Body

      Soft, pleasing, medium.

    • Palate

      Palate Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; short punch, sweet and fresh, then a pronounced drying effect. Enjoyable at any time, with little or no water.

    • Finish

      Quite short. Some lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.

    Kelly,

    I've tried the 12y/o Cardhu. It was smooth with a subtle honey finish . This whiskey had a good flavour and I look forward to the older and more mature Cardhu's.

    Dr.John,

    Very average 12yo whisky, with nothing distinctive about its taste
