Production Methods
Cardhu 15 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky produced in the Speyside region of Scotland. The production process begins with locally sourced barley that is steeped in water before being spread out to germinate. The barley is then kiln-dried using peat smoke or hot air, with Cardhu 15 Year Old opting for the latter. The malted barley is then mashed and mixed with hot water to create a sugary liquid, which is fermented with yeast in large washbacks to create a beer-like substance. This wash is then distilled twice in copper pot stills to create a clear spirit, which is then aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks for a minimum of 15 years. The resulting whisky is then carefully blended and bottled at a strength of 40% ABV, ready for consumption.

About The Brand: Cardhu
The Speyside distillery Cardhu was established in 1824 by whiskey smuggler John Cumming and his wife Helen close to Archiestown, Moray, Scotland. The distillery is presently managed by Diageo, and the Scotch whiskey from the distillery contributes significantly to the Johnnie Walker blended whiskies. The Scots Gaelic phrase Carn Dubh, which means 'Black Rock,' is where the word 'Cardhu' originates. Cardhu single malt scotch whiskey has a large spirit that is effortless and graceful, flowing like the talk of wonderful company. Any energetic host needs one of these smooth, sweet, mellow personalities to keep them company. They are derived from the peat-softened waters of the Mannoch Hills.
