Cardhu 12 Year Old
You may not have heard of Cardhu, but you've probably tasted it. It's a prime component of nearly all Johnnie Walker blended whisky. Europe, particularly Spain, had quite a taste for the single malt bottling. It was so popular in fact that they changed it to a blended malt to keep up with demand. This did not go over so well and Cardhu righted that wrong back in 2005.

Nose: At full strength, heady, nose prickle, pear drops and tightly integrated heather, resin and sweet honey-nut notes. Enticing. Intriguing. With a little water, still harmonious but less pronounced, allowing some malt cereal, soft, spicy wood, moorland and faint traces of wood-smoke to appear.
Palate: Well balanced, smooth mouthfeel; short punch, sweet and fresh, then a pronounced drying effect. Moorish. Enjoyable at any time, with little or no water.
Finish: Lingering sweet smoke in the attractive, drying aftertaste.

Nose: A prominent oaky vanilla aroma is complemented by bright citrus notes of candied lemon and orange. Layers of apple tart, burnt sugar, and hints of cask char add depth.
Palate: The whisky delivers a lusciously sweet experience with caramel and toffee apple flavors. Creamy vanilla and spicy, toasted oak notes emerge, balanced by the candied orange peel.
Finish: The finish is long and warming, featuring rich woody spice, mellow butterscotch, toffee popcorn, and a lingering sweetness from the malt.
