Cardhu 18 year old, 40%

Price: 101 Issue: Fall 2013 Reviewer: Dave Broom Category: Single Malt Scotch

Cardhu—for me, at least—means intensity, and this delivers precisely that, with masses of
citrus (bergamot and grapefruit) and just a hint of dark chocolate behind. With
water, there's red apple and Victoria plum, while the mouth is precise, with
any richness cut with fresh acidity. Zesty and fresh on the finish. Try it in a
Bobby Burns. Released without any fanfare, here's evidence that Cardhu's
rebuilding its reputation nicely. £66
