The Cardhu 1973 is a 27-year-old single malt whisky, notable for being one of two Cardhu releases under Diageo's historic Rare Malts Selection. This series, operational between 1995 and 2005, presented whiskies from both operational and lost distilleries.
Distilled in 1973, this whisky matured for 27 years before being bottled in October 2000. It aligns with the Rare Malts tradition, presenting at an un-diluted cask strength of 60.02%. This high alcohol by volume (ABV) is a characteristic feature of the Rare Malts range, which aimed to highlight the whisky in its most unadulterated form.
The Cardhu 1973 is a representative of a significant period in whisky history. The Rare Malts Selection series may now be discontinued, but its impact continues to resonate through the industry, specifically influencing Diageo's subsequent Special Releases.
As with other whiskies in this selection, each Cardhu 1973 bottle carries a unique number, symbolizing its rarity and exclusivity. It stands as a significant release, not just from Cardhu's portfolio, but also as part of the wider range of unique whiskies under the Diageo Rare Malts Selection.
