Cardhu Distillery
John made things legal when he licensed the distillery in 1824, just a year after a change in the law to allow licensing of distilleries.
Their son Lewis Cumming (1803-1872) succeeded his father, and after his death Lewis' wife Elizabeth Robertson (1827-1894) took over the business.
The original buildings were a short distance to the south-east of the present complex, which was built in 1884-1886 and then expanded in 1896-1897 after Elizabeth sold it to John Walker and Sons, now part of Diageo, in 1893.
Cardhu is an important component of the Johnnie Walker brand of blended whisky, but a range of single malts is also available, and are featured in Diageo's 'Classic Malts' selection.
Distillery tours are available.
