Note the Blue Sky above this Distillery!
I was on the first tour of the day, so it was just me and the tour guide who was most pleasant. She was surprised to hear that this was the eighteenth distillery that I had visited. I explained how some people admire cathedrals and others admire whisky. When I am too old to travel to distilleries, I will have fond memories of this trip and I will recommend Scotland and its wonderful people to one and all.
The tour was well done.
The tastings were also well done:
12 year old Cardhu - light, very nice. All in all a lovely whisky
Cardhu Special Cask Reserve - purrs down the throat
Cardhu 18 year old - darker colour and more flavour than the 12 year old
All three of these whiskies were very fine. I gave top marks to the Special Cask Reserve followed closely by the 18 year old. The 12 year old is quite acceptable, but it is in a different league. They are all welcome to come and stay in my drinks cabinet.
