I never quite understood why Cardhu is so popular in Spain. Maybe it's the warm climate that goes well together with the light and fruity style of this single malt? On the nose, you get juniper berries, sticky honey sweetness and hints of almonds - that's it. Not unpleasant, but fairly simple. The taste is a plain continuation of the aroma with some mild spices, fresh spearmint and dark chocolate in the second row. Be careful with water, as this malt disintegrates quickly. With its swift and undemanding finish, Cardhu 12 is an easy sipper for long summer evenings.

Yes! Feeding the Galloways with digestives was certainly more interesting than tasting Cardhu ;-)
Oh, Cardhu. Let's just say that the highlight of my visit to the distillery was the small herd of very friendly Highland cows rather than the whisky itself.
Cost and weather probably?
