About Cardhu The history of Cardhu Distillery is as rich and intriguing as the whisky it produces. Founded in 1824 by John and Helen Cummings in the Speyside region of Scotland, Cardhu began as a way to evade the heavy taxes imposed by the Excise Act of 1823. Helen Cummings cleverly disguised the distillery's operations as bread-making to avoid detection, even raising a red flag to warn neighbors of approaching tax collectors.
By 1872, the distillery was passed on to their daughter Elizabeth, and Cardhu quickly earned a reputation as one of Scotland's finest producers of single malt Scotch whisky. It also became a critical component of Johnnie Walker blended whiskies.
Experience the Legacy With a history steeped in ingenuity and tradition, Cardhu continues to produce exceptional single malt Scotch whisky. The Cardhu 2022 Special Release 16 Year Old is a complex and elegant single malt that's approachable yet sophisticated, making it a standout in any whisky collection.
