- Description
- Cardhu's 1973 vintage, bottled at cask strength 60.02% ABV as part of Diageo's Rare Malts collection around 2000. A 27-year-old Speyside expression that spent decades developing complexity in wood. At this proof and age, expect concentrated character with the creamy, honeyed baseline Cardhu is known for, likely enriched by oxidative maturation. A significant historical bottling for collectors of aged Speyside whisky.
