Wikipedia describes the controversy with Cardhu Pure Malt as follows:
"In December 2003, parent company Diageo caused controversy by halting the production of Cardhu single malt and replacing it with a blended malt which they labelled a 'pure malt' using the same bottle design and label as its single malt. This was done in order to keep up with increased demand for the whisky, particularly in Spain, as well as for use in Johnnie Walker blended whiskies. The decision by Diageo angered both consumers and other whisky producers who were worried that the single malt image would be damaged. Diageo responded to the criticism by agreeing to change the label style and colour of their pure malt in order to avoid consumer confusion". Check the Wikipedia site to see which bottles you have, pictures are available. _________________ "Always carry a large flagon of whisky in case of snakebite and furthermore always carry a small snake."
