Known for its smooth, sweet-natured single malt whisky, the history of Cardhu's rise to fame is to a large part told in the story of two determined women who were members of the founding family.

Founded by Helen Cumming in 1811 as an illicit distillery and licensed in 1824, Cardhu is the first distillery to be officially pioneered by a woman. Helen's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, became known as the 'Queen of the Whisky Trade' after cleverly exploiting the growing popularity of Scotch whisky in the late 1880s.
