- Description
- Cardhu 1974 vintage matured in a single sherry butt and bottled by Signatory at 56% ABV in August 1999 for the Millennium. Twenty-five years in sherry wood would have imparted rich dried fruit, spice, and darkened colour to this Speyside expression. Cask strength and sherry maturation provide weight and complexity absent from standard bottlings. A collector's piece for those seeking sherried Speyside with substantial age and bottler provenance.
