Great whiskey! Clear pear on the nose and a nice taste - good amount of sweetness. Medium finish.

Tyler, Dec 30, 2020

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.

This is a very fine, smooth, whisky; slightly sweet but not unpleasantly so by any means. I'm enjoying it.

Jim, Nov 27, 2020

Not a patch on the Macallan, but fairly pleasant.

Mike, Nov 22, 2020

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!

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.

This is one of my go-to scotches, with smooth lightly peaty taste and a long, nice finish, this is the bottle I recommend to friends looking to move beyond The Macallan.

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.

Smoky on the first sip after that smooth and easy, for me the smoke wears off quick.

John, Aug 11, 2020

A sweet, slightly smoky flavorful dram

Todd, Aug 1, 2020

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, Aug 1, 2020

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, Jul 6, 2020

I love it. Very nice finish. Very very light peat. Fruity

Dirk, Jun 13, 2020

Very good, had it before but not easy to find around here.

Matthew, Apr 15, 2020

Not too complex, very easy to drink

Eric, Mar 3, 2020

Not a lot special or complex going on here, just a nice, drinkable, sweet whiskey. I pick up bottles of this quite frequently.

Logan, Feb 18, 2020

Nose - pear, apple with a slightly oak. Taste - fruity, slight pear. Enjoyable.

Lighly smoked and hints if peat, rich fruitnotes

David, Jan 22, 2019

Great, reasonable scotch. Lower alc, no peat. This was very easy drinking.

David, Jan 13, 2019

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, Jan 4, 2019

A fantastic poor. Just the right amount of smoke and peat. Definitely worth the cost.

Paula, Nov 21, 2018

Very relaxing scotch

Tong, Nov 9, 2018

Very smooth

Greg, Aug 31, 2018

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, Jun 23, 2018

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, Jun 22, 2018

Good flavor and complexity yet very smooth. Excellent scotch at this price.

Martin, May 7, 2018

My all time favorite

CJ, Mar 28, 2018

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

Andrew, Jan 27, 2018

Great every day sipper. Light and fruity. No water or ice for this one.

Doug, Dec 4, 2017

First attempt at Scotch.. going to have to add more notes as I get more experienced

Daniel, Oct 25, 2017

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, Oct 19, 2017

Not as smokey as I would like. Still, nicely sweet and smooth.
