Cardhu 12 Year Old (750ml) Sauvignon Blanc The ambitious and very expensiveThis soft, bright, easy going whisky is back in the U. S. market after being absent for several years. Very fragrant, with vibrant fruit (nectarine, plum, guava, pineapple, clementine), honeyed vanilla, and subtle macadamia. Fairly light (a pre dinner or leisurely afternoon malt, perhaps?) but evenly balanced. A gentle introduction to single malts for the blended scotch drinker. Whisky Advocate 83 points
