Glencadam Distillery...

Glencadam Distillery, located in the ancient city of Brechin in the Highlands of Scotland, is the only distillery in the Angus region. It was founded in 1825 by George Copper, just one year after distilling was legalised in Scotland. The stills have a special shape, an unusual feature being that their pipes run upwards at an angle of 15° rather than downwards, helping to produce a particularly mellow flavour.

Throughout the years, ownership changed several times before coming under ownership of Hiram Walker & Son (Ballantine's) in 1954. Their purpose of obtaining Glencadam was for Ballantine's blends. In May 2003, the distillery became property of Angus Dundee Distillers Plc. Almost all the production is for blending and specifically for use in Ballantine's and Stewart's Cream of the Barley blends.

Glencadam Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 15 Years is the first Single Malt from this distillery since 1825 which was distilled for the general public. It is exceptional. It is available in 70cl and I Litre sizes. Glencadam 15 Year Old won a Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge 2005, recognising it as a Single Malt of high quality which will be much sought after by the discerning consumer.

Angus Dundee Distillers Plc is an independent company with over 50 years' experience in the production, bottling, and distribution of fine Scotch Whiskies and other spirits. Angus Dundee also owns Tomintoul, a malt distillery which is located in the Speyside Glenlivet region. Their success is based on supplying top quality products at competitive prices.

Nose: super complex; butterscotch, marzipan with apricot filling, lightly salted barley and so much more. Taste: those apricots deliver on arrival then a wave of vanilla-led barley; spices sweep in…as they must!! Finish: drier but with the fruits and barley still haggling for presence; excellent pepper tingle. Balance: a true gem of a cask with a nose that, alone, could seduce a eunuch. 95 Points: Jim Murray's Whisky Bible
