Glencadam American Oak - 40%

Product information "Glencadam American Oak - 40%"

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.

Glencadam 18 Years - 46%, Single Malt from Highlands, Scotland
Glencadam 18 Years - 46%

The founding date shows that Glencadam was licensed early after the “Excise Act” massively reduced taxes on whiskey. At the same time, an official foundation during this period indicates that there were probably “illicit stills” on site before that, i.e. illegal burning took place. The Glencadam 18 years proves that it was worth waiting (at least) 180 years for single malts from the distillery. The new edition of the elegant standard bottling, which has been awaited for years, matures in bourbon casks and creates autumn anticipation. Aromas of tropical fruits and spices on the nose, followed by a complex and fruity palate before ending in a soft, warm and lingering finish.

Glencadam Reserve de Burgundy - 46%

The complex influence of butts, barrels and barriques – all of which are pre-aged with (fortified) wines – is demonstrated by Glencadam in a new Wood Finish Series, consisting of five neither chill-filtered nor coloured single malts at ideal drinking strength. The Glencadam Reserve de Burgundy received a finish in former Pinot Noir wine casks. These Pinot Noir casks give it a sweet, oily character with notes of blackcurrant, coffee and ginger.

Glencadam Reserve de Bordeaux - 46%

Glencadam demonstrates the complex influence of butts, barrels and barriques – all of them pre-loaded with (liqueur) wines – in a new wood finish series, consisting of five neither chill-filtered nor coloured single malts at ideal drinking strength. The Glencadam Reserve de Bordeaux received a finish in former Merlot wine casks. The post-maturing in Merlot Wine Barrels from Bordeaux leaves traces of rhubarb crumble, cocoa and oak spice.

Glencadam 1989 Single Cask #2331 - 55,0%

Tradition is writ large at Glencadam. 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.

For all its love of tradition, time stands still here no more than the mill wheel does. And so Glencadam also ventures into experiments.
