Cardhu comes from one of the oldest of the Speyside distilleries, which have nestled in foothills near the River Spey for 200 years and the Cardhu range is an excellent representation of these Speyside whiskies. Helen Cumming, who founded the distillery with her husband in 1811, can fairly be called the first ‘woman of whisky’. The light character of the 12 year old Cardhu is an excellent starting point for anyone starting on their whisky journey. A beautifully presented gift for loved ones.
