Cardhu 12 year old Single Malt....$35.99 Cardhu Distillery – previously called Cardow – must be one of the best located distilleries in Speyside. High on the hills on the north side of the Spey Valley with extensive views to the south, it is also the home of Johnnie Walker, the number one blended Scotch whisky in the world.
The malt itself - which is presented in an elegant decanter with a beechwood stopper - is pretty typical of a Speyside malt. It is highly approachable - smooth, sweet, mellow and uncomplicated and has good body and length.
“Just about the cleanest, most uncluttered, pure, sweet malt you will ever find.”Jim Murray, Whisky Bible 2008.

A limited quantity of Cardhu 12 year old will be available in the United States starting in mid-2010. If you are looking for a single malt whisky with similar flavours, why not try Dalwhinnie™ or Clynelish™?

I also found this chart on their site that is very interesting.
The Flavour Map will help you choose a single malt whisky based on its taste. Developed by some of Scotland's most experienced professionals, the map demonstrates that – when it comes to flavour in a glass of whisky – all single malts can be plotted on a simple grid.
Created by the renowned whisky expert Dave Broom, and Jim Beveridge, one of the industry’s great noses, it’s an innovative way of comparing and assessing single malts. The Flavour Map means you can identify how light or rich, and how smoky or delicate a whisky is compared to ones you may already be familiar with.
