Cardhu Distillery was successfully run by pioneering women Helen and Elizabeth Cumming. Helen and her husband John opened the original little distillery, but together with their sons wife, Elizabeth, the two females took this brand and single malt scotch whisky to the next level, growing it each year. The distillery is located on the northern hilltops of the Spey valley in Speyside, Scotland. Over 200 years ago it was the first distillery to partner with Johnnie Walker & Sons.
