TheWhiskyAnorak Review 18A - Cardhu 9yr 52.4%

TheWhiskyAnorak Review 18A - Cardhu 9yr 52.4% Welcome to my review 18A where I am taking a look at an independently bottled 9 yr old Cardhu at 52.4% by James Eadie, matured in two first fill bourbon hogsheads Coming up next in 18B I will be talking about the Pure Malt fiasco involving Cardhu and other controversies Following that in review 18C I will be doing a comparison between this Cardhu and 1 of 3 other bottles, the public vote is out now, if you go to the main page of my channel and click on the posts tab, you can choose from one of the options below, the winner will feature in review 18C (closing date for voting is Thursday 9th July at 12pm UK time) 1. Linkwood 9yr 57.8% (IB by Fragrant Drops) [finished in two ‘fresh’ Oloroso quarter casks, I thought this could be a good comparison from a similar(ish) distillery but matured in a different cask type] 2. Linkwood 14yr 56.6% (IB by Blackadder) [finished in a first fill PX Sherry cask after spending most of its life in a tired old cask (by Blackadders admission) this could be a good comparison to the Cardhu] 3. Linkwood 15yr 57.5% (IB by Chorlton whisky) [‘matured in a Hogshead’ is all the info we are given, but this is an unusual one by Chorlton, quite lactic and different from the normal Linkwood profile and has a certain honeyed note to it also, could be a good comparison to the Cardhu] Thankyou for watching my channel, I hope the content is useful and informative. Further details about my channel and how I go about things: I'm TheWhiskyAnorak,I am an Anorak, and what I'm an Anorak about is whisky (mainly single malts), rum and other quality spirits and so I review them, I’m based in the north of England. No editing, just my opinion, reviews and waffling. Here to enjoy the journey and keep learning and experiencing. All bottles are purchased by myself with my own money, I do not do samples. A, B, C format for the videos (e.g video "1' will be in 3 installments; 1A, 1B, 1C and so on for following videos) A's are reviews of the bottle in question B's are further details (be it further production details, distillery details or other related content to the main 'A' review) C's are comparisons to other bottles (will almost always be open to poll) A's - SUNDAY release B's - TUESDAY release C's - FRIDAY release Review scores....i don't like percentage or out of 10 scores personally My version of a review score is the following, 3 questions: Would I buy this same bottle again? Would I buy a similar bottle again? Would I buy from the same distillery/bottler again? Thank you for your time Any questions please feel free to comment
