Cardhu 9 Year Old 2016 is a bright and elegant Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by James Eadie as part of their heritage-led collection inspired by W. Y. Crowe’s seminal work The Distilleries of Great Britain & Ireland (1922–1929). Distilled in 2016 and matured in first fill bourbon hogsheads, this vibrant release is bottled at 52.4% ABV, delivering a fresh and fruit-driven Speyside dram with clarity and lift.

First fill bourbon casks enhance Cardhu’s naturally soft and approachable style, adding layers of vanilla, honey, and orchard fruits while maintaining the distillery’s signature smoothness. Bottled at natural strength and without chill-filtration, this expression offers a pure and expressive profile with excellent balance between spirit and cask.

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.
