Cardhu, the house of Johnnie Walker, is a very famous single malt, that i often place it in a third line of single malt distilleries, since i have never tasted a whisky from them that blew my mind.
Having said that, this year i went to their premises once again as a part of my scottish tour, and i tasted this year's (2023) hand filled expression, drawn from the cask 002/2023, a 11 year old dram.
On the nose, green apples, cream and hazelnuts mixed with chocolate. Lots of green apples.
On the palate, a nice milk chocolate, spicy red chilli. Lemon and a citric profile.
Aftetaste is all about Sawdust. Very simple and a little dull.
Overall, there is not much more to say here. A very simple speysider, with some fruity notes and a dissapointing finish. It could be better, specially for a 120 pound bottle, which is supposed to be a special edition. My score for it 78 over 100.
