Cardhu

Near Archiestown in Speyside. It began as a farm where John Cumming and his wife Helen distilled illicitly, and was licensed in 1824.

In 1885 a new, larger distillery was built nearby, and the old stills were sold to William Grant, who went on to found Glenfiddich. In 1893 Elizabeth Cumming, the founders' daughter-in-law, sold the distillery to John Walker & Sons, while the Cumming family continued to run it.

Now owned by Diageo, it has six stills, and much of its spirit goes into Johnnie Walker blends.
