Comments:

This is the Cardhu bottling that replaced the infamous Cardhu Pure Malt (something which wasn't wholly Cardhu spirit, and was rightly pulled by Diageo after massive complaints). Very raisiny and grapey without being too aggressive. Nice fruit and spiciness in the taste. Good whisky.

Verdict:

I like this.
