Distillingwhisky was, in Scotland's history, a small-scale family affair.The name of the farm in its anglicised spelling was Cardow Farm,but to the gaelic speaking locals, it was Cardhu -The Black Rock.It is a unique characteristic of Cardhu that, in a whisky worlddominated by men, women have played a major part in the history of thebrand.It was under Elizabeth Cumming's direction that Cardhu grew froma tiny, local distillery to one of the leading Speyside Single Malts.The quality of Cardhu's product attracted many would be buyers.Finally in 1893, Elizabeth sold the distillery to John Walker & Sonsof Kilmarnock and her son was installed as manager of the distillery, anda board member of Walker's with a substantial shareholding. Although afew bottles of Cardhu single malt became available over the years it wasa key ingredient of the firm's famous "Johnnie Walker" that Cardhu wasenjoyed, unknowingly, by Scotch drinkers the world over.The history of the distillery, its treasured arts and traditions,the pure, clean flavour of the natural Highland ingredients, the care ofmaking and the long, slow maturing are all to be tasted in a glass of GoldenCardhu - Truly a great Highland Single Malt.
