Cardhu

Cardhu Malt Whisky

Cardhu is a soft, sweet, approachable Speyside malt and is Diageo’s best-selling whisky which interestingly has a huge following in France and Spain, the latter of which accounts for 75% of volume sales.
This popularity, combined with a rumoured shortfall in mature stock, gave rise in 2003 to a notorious episode in the distillery’s history when Diageo began selling a ‘pure’ malt under the name of Cardhu in the same packaging as the previous single malt expression.
