Helen Cumming's was a pioneer in the Scotch whisky industry, carrying out the family distillery in difficult times for women and for the whisky trade.
Solidarity with its neighboring distilleries, all incipient family businesses, its legendary distillery works since 1811 and was legalized in 1824.
It is a symbol of the strength and resilience of a strong woman, the first woman in the world to head a whiskey distillery, which was a pioneer at a time when women had no vote and could not own property in Scotland.
