Cardhu 12 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a smooth, sweet-natured single malt whisky. Very light and smooth easy-going Speyside whisky with clean, crisp oak and sweet malt.

A little over $7 difference, but yeah, still a very good price.
I had some tonight, from the last deal. It really is good :)
The age of a carbon molecule can be determined by measuring the amount of carbon-14 remaining in the molecule. This method is called radiocarbon dating or carbon-14 dating.
Bro cmon don't live like this
Scientists in Glasgow found a unique way to use carbon dating to determine the real age of expensive single malt Scotch whiskies — and immediately found nearly half the bottles tested were unremarkable liquor fraudulently marketed as old and rare.
“Our experiences have suggested that there are a significant number of fake products being sold,” Gordon Cook, a professor of environmental geochemistry, writes in a published paper, putting the number at “approaching half.”
Their test of what was purported to be a bottle of Laphroaig single malt Scotch distilled in 1903 found it was actually distilled from grain grown during the nuclear era — perhaps after 2011 — and so is definitely a fake.
A bottle sourced directly through official distillery channels? I doubt it.
This scotch is one of the blends used in blue label.(read up on Diageo)
Not a bad price for a drop in this price range, however in the mid $60ies range i would recommend Starward double cask over this
This isn’t a blend, but I get what you’re trying to say.
I think you mean starward two fold, which is definitely the best price-performance Australian made one I’ve found. I wish more were like it.
Bit of a different thing to this though, Cardhu is a very easy drinking single malt, two fold has a bit more flavour due to the blend and the wine barrel aging. I like to keep both on hand, easy solution!
I finally got around to trying Starward after reading this, and I agree. The Two Fold is really great for the price ($65 at Dan's atm). I was surprised how much I liked it given that it's red wine barrell aged and only 40%abv.
I'll have to keep an eye out for any specials on their other offerings.
It's a single malt used in their blends.
I'd take this over Starward double cask any day.
Any drinkable whisky up to $50?
Buy this, then sell 135.5ml of it to someone else for $12.
Thanks for your skimtrack comment, and what a skindrik one you are? ;) I will try Aldi's whisky which all are less than $50.
Thanks for your skimsonic reply.
Any whisky can be drinkable with RC cola.

Thank you guys.
If you are not hung up on SIngle mallts, then Jamieson Irish is a good whisky
Jameson is pretty good, and is a very friendly whiskey for beginners too. It's fairly weak, sweet, and is not exactly exciting, but I still don't mind the stuff.
It's a sad state of affairs trying to buy a whisky for under $50 here in our Australian nanny state though. You can't even buy a bottle of Jameson for $50 unless it's on special.
$50 is my limit as it is a matter of principle. I ordered Jameson for $45 delivered.
Thanks, grabbed a bottle.
I have ordered two of these on separate occasions. Purchased 1st one 08-Feb and came just fine. Decided to order a 2nd one recently and the whisky box came damaged. It wasn't damaged in transit as the Amazon box was okay. The Whisky box had a 5cm tear on the side and a damaged corner. Contacted Amazon and they offered either 10% refund or replacement. Not sure of other people's orders. Perhaps I was just unlucky?
No as good as it was few weeks ago but would stay still a good price
