Cardhu comes from one of the oldest of the Speyside distilleries. 2 determined women are largely responsible for its success. Helen Cumming, who founded the distillery with her husband in 1811, can fairly be called the first ‘woman of whisky’, and her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, became known as the ‘Queen of the Whisky Trade’. Aged for 15 years, this is an expression that was awarded a silver medal at the San Francisco International Wine and Spirit Competition 2014.
