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. Known for its smooth, sweet-natured single malt whisky, the history of Cardhus rise to fame is to a large part told in the story of two determined women who were members of the founding family. The light character of the 12 Year Old Cardhu is an excellent starting point for anyone starting on their whisky journey.
