Members of the Cardhu whisky family are lively in character and surprise with every sip. The history of Cardhu's rise to fame is to a large part told in the story of two determined women: 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 a delightful expression from Speysider Cardhu with layers of fruity, toffeed magic. The heat and flavour purity fired in Cardhu malt whiskeys is often described as silky. This expression of Cardhu was awarded a silver medal at the San Francisco International Wine and Spirit Competition 2014. The delicate sharpness of highland strawberry chocolate truffles pairs perfectly with Cardhu's soft, intensely fruity quality. Beautifully presented in luxurious packaging, Cardhu 12yo makes the perfect gift for any whisky lover.

Founded by Helen Cumming in 1811 as an illicit distillery and licensed in 1824, Cardhu is the first distillery to be officially pioneered by a woman. Helen's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, became known as the 'Queen of the Whisky Trade' after cleverly exploiting the growing popularity of Scotch whisky in the late 1880s
