Cardhu 11 Year Old Special Releases 2020 is a rich and elegant Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, created for the prestigious Diageo Special Releases 2020 collection. Matured in a carefully selected combination of refill, new, and ex-bourbon American oak casks, this limited edition expression showcases a more intense and layered interpretation of Cardhu’s famously smooth and honeyed house style.

The varied American oak maturation brings exceptional complexity to the whisky, layering creamy vanilla, sweet spice, toasted oak, and orchard fruit character over Cardhu’s naturally refined Speyside spirit. Bottled at natural strength as part of the annual Special Releases collection, this expression offers greater depth and richness than the classic core range while retaining the approachable elegance for which Cardhu is renowned.

The Distillery

Cardhu
Cardhu Distillery traces its roots to 1811, when John and Helen Cumming began producing malt whisky on their Cardhu Farm using a single illicit still. Officially founded in 1824, the original distillery featured two small stills, producing modest quantities until a larger, purpose-built facility with four stills was constructed just up the road. Today, Cardhu stands as a notable Speyside malt whisky distillery and a key contributor to Diageo’s Johnnie Walker blended Scotch range. Showcasing its commitment to tradition and quality, Cardhu offers several popular single malts, including the 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old, and Amber Rock, each reflecting the distinct character and heritage of this historic Scottish distillery.
