EXPERT REVIEW

Cardhufor me, at leastmeans intensity, and this delivers precisely that, with masses of citrus (bergamot and grapefruit) and just a hint of dark chocolate behind. With water, theres red apple and Victoria plum, while the mouth is precise, with any richness cut with fresh acidity. Zesty and fresh on the finish. Try it in a Bobby Burns. Released without any fanfare, heres evidence that Cardhus rebuilding its reputation nicely. 84 points – whiskyadvocate.com (Fall 2013)
