Member Reviews and Ratings of Cardhu 12 Year Old
Adam,
Great whiskey! Clear pear on the nose and a nice taste - good amount of sweetness. Medium finish.
Tyler,
The first hit tells me this has to be part of the Monkey Shoulder blend, if it isn't it's doing a great impression. Ultimately Cardhu seems to be in the Glenmorangie 10 end of the spectrum, with orange peel, flowers, and honey. But it doesn't have the formers depth or sunshine in a bottle quality. It's pleasant but unremarkable.
Edward,
This is a very fine, smooth, whisky; slightly sweet but not unpleasantly so by any means. I'm enjoying it.
Jim,
Not a patch on the Macallan, but fairly pleasant.
Mike,
This is a lovely tipple, very smooth and a really warm and inviting taste and smell. Any drink that puts a smile on your face is a good one!
Patrick,
Not a whole lot going on here. Pear on the nose, lightly fruity on the palate. Surprisingly silky mouth feel. Very short finish, a little bit of heat, but nothing that really sticks around. Easy summer dram, or if you’re in a pinch for a cocktail base, this would be it.

Conor,
Meringue nose. Hint of lemon. Very floral with heavy jolly rancher notes. Mild raisin. Gentle mustiness. This is primarily used as one of the ingredients for Johnny walker blends which is probably where it belongs. It isn't bad, just a bit to pretty with no real depth.
Oskari,
Smoky on the first sip after that smooth and easy, for me the smoke wears off quick.
John,
A sweet, slightly smoky flavorful dram
Todd,
I love this...this was not my first bottle, and I sought this out. great finish and not too peaty. it is my go to
Phil,
Not my favorite... I just couldn't get past the overwhelming scent of twizzlers and waxy flavor of same. I will certainly finish the bottle, but it might be as the scotch for my Godfather or Rusty Nail.
Todd,
I love it. Very nice finish. Very very light peat. Fruity
Dirk,
Very good, had it before but not easy to find around here.
Matthew,
Not too complex, very easy to drink
Eric,
Not a lot special or complex going on here, just a nice, drinkable, sweet whiskey. I pick up bottles of this quite frequently.

Lighly smoked and hints if peat, rich fruitnotes
David,
Great, reasonable scotch. Lower alc, no peat. This was very easy drinking.
David,
The pear hits the nose directly followed by a light smoke,
Very round taste filled with fruits together with a small peaty flavor,
Long finish with a beautiful lingering smoke,
Michael,
A fantastic poor. Just the right amount of smoke and peat. Definitely worth the cost.
Paula,
Very relaxing scotch
Tong,
Very smooth
Greg,
Very nice dram. Malty with flavors of berries , chocolate and a touch of leather. I’ve had a number of bottles. Consistently fine and very drinkable. Modest price belies this tasty malt and refreshing finish. One of my “go to” drams.
Michael,
Very smooth but not too light. Flavor is a bit sweet, but the complexity and smoothness is impressive at this price point. Great every day scotch.
Michael,
Good flavor and complexity yet very smooth. Excellent scotch at this price.
Martin,

CJ,
Super smooth and easy to drink. Fruity and sweet. Definitely a good daily drink.

Great every day sipper. Light and fruity. No water or ice for this one.
Doug,
First attempt at Scotch.. going to have to add more notes as I get more experienced
Daniel,
Very good Speysider; light and fruity on the nose with a sweet, spicy palate. First impressions were not great, but this dram definitely grows on me. Very good overall.
Robert,
Not as smokey as I would like. Still, nicely sweet and smooth.
guest,
Very easy to drink. Smooth and lovely!
Kullervo,
Nice and smooth. I usually go for Islay stuff, but this is more affordable, really good run for the money.
