Both had been Whisky smugglers since 1811, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;outwitting the Excisemen\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; with sheer cheekiness. Helen would disguise the mashing and fermenting as bread-making. Then, while the officers drank the tea she made for them, she would fly a red flag from the barn to warn their neighbors that revenue men were around.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;In 1874 Helen handed the distillery to another strong woman, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Elizabeth\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, the wife of her son. Elizabeth, known as \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Queen of the Whisky Trade\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, rebuilt the distillery and doubled capacity. She made Cardhu one of the malt Whisky leaders. In 1894, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;John Walker \u0026amp; Sons\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; purchased the distillery. To this day, they consider it to be \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;the spiritual home of Johnnie Walker.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Cardhu 18 Year Old\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; is the definitive Speyside Whisky. This immensely popular single malt is produced slowly to nail its \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;exceptional smoothness\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. It’s extra matured, while retaining Cardhu’s soft, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;approachable style\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, and adds notes of rich fruit, leather and chocolate to the mix.
