About CardhuScotland
Cardhu is a Speyside single malt distillery at Knockando, near Archiestown and Aberlour. It was founded in 1824 by John and Helen Cumming, and in 1885 it was rebuilt on a new site under Elizabeth Cumming, their daughter-in-law. In 1893 she sold it to John Walker and Sons, and today it is run by Diageo. Its single malt is known for a smooth, honeyed style and as a key part of the Johnnie Walker blends. Its limited bottlings have appeared in Diageo's yearly Special Releases, including a 21 Year Old in 2014 and a 16 Year Old in 2022.
