Thanks to a blind tasting flight challenge sent to me by @Generously_Paul I was able to sample this 18yo malt from Cardhu. I don’t have the typical notes I like to take as I was more tuned in towards trying to identify the differences between 5 different whiskies and spirits. What I did notice about this one was how harsh it was for being aged for quite a long time. I remember some great sherry notes and not a lot of heat, but I’m inclined to think that the quality of the casks used here was a bit lacking. That said, I’d give this a middle of the road score of 3 stars and I’d be happy to revisit it later on and put it through its proper paces if I can land another pour somewhere down the road. Thanks again, Paul. The challenge was a blast. Cheers.
