- Description
- Cardhu's 1982 distillation represents a snapshot of Speyside character from over two decades past, bottled at cask strength in 2005 as part of a limited 3,600-bottle release. This collectible expression carries the distillery's signature honeyed and orchard-fruit profile, matured entirely in ex-bourbon wood for natural development. The texture is smooth and warming, with a dry finish characteristic of uncolored, cask-strength bottlings. A piece of whisky history suited to patient collectors and those seeking authentic 1980s Speyside.
