Since its foundation in 1825, the small Highland distillery has been working according to the same methods - and can even count as one of the few in Scotland a functioning water wheel among its interior fittings and circuit. Despite all the love of tradition, time does not stand still any more than the mill wheel. And so Glencadam is also experimenting.

]]> Glencadam, which translates as “Valley of the Wild Goose”, was commissioned in Brechin in 1825. Most of the production is used for the Ballantines brand. After 180 years in the whisky waiting loop, Glencadam took the step out of the shadow of the blend industry onto the stage of the original bottlers. But rather quietly. Their “East Highlands” single malt made from unpeated barley malt is still considered an insider tip today.
The whiskies, which are up to 30 years old and neither coloured nor chill-filtered, are produced in two original copper pot stills, just as they were in the founding days of the small distillery. Due to their construction, these produce a particularly delicate and soft spirit. This is because the Lyne arms run at an angle of 15 degrees upwards, not downwards.

]]> The smallest Rhum Agricole distillery in Martinique is located at the foot of the Montagne Pelée, on volcanic, fertile soil. Rhum J.M is the only Martinican rum producer who grows 100 percent of its own sugar cane. Due to the humid and at the same time growth-promoting microclimate of the small Antilles island, it has a high sugar content. Just one hour after harvesting, the plant is pressed to make Rhum Agricole from its juice.

Karine Lassalle supervises the production. Since 2017, the specialist has been responsible for the maturing Rhum Agricole as a quality manager and cellar master at Rhum J.M – and the development of new products. Such as the series “L’Atelier des Rhums”. The rums with extraordinary aroma profiles are the result of Lassalle’s talent for barrels as well as her willingness to experiment with sugar cane juices, heating techniques, types of wood and barrel volumes.
