My final review of the distillery tasting tour i did in Cardhu, is the second bottling you can actually only buy at the distillery premises. I am talking about the Cardhu Hand Filled: a 11yo, 56.3%abv dram, drawn from the batch 2021-001. By now, you should know that Cardhu is not my cup of tea, but not because i have something against it; the thing is, that they haven't made anything that has blown my mind yet... an i have tried a lot of expressions from them. Om the nose, it manages to pass the test. Almonds, candied almonds; Chocolate. Brownies with a slight touch of impalpable sugar. Honey. On the palate, very simple, but nice. Honey, toffee and chocolate. Aftertaste is still very simple, but good. Chocolate, brownies and almonds. Not too complex, well delivered.. Overall, this is the best Cardhu can offer me. I have grown to believe that by now. Having said that, this is a mediocre dram at best. Sweet, easy to drink and not complex at all, it can be used as an everyday whisky, which i don't believe any "hand filled distillery exclusive" is intended to be when it was made. My score for it is 86 over 100.
