Description
As small and secret as the Glencadam Distillery is, its range provides variety. Gourmets had to wait around 180 years for original bottlings from the East Highlands distillery. The whiskies, which are up to 38 years old, are produced in two copper pot stills, just like in Glencadam's early days. Due to their construction, they produce a delicate and soft spirit that matures in a variety of high-quality barrels in the traditional Dunnage warehouse.The distillery's limited releases demonstrate the complex influence of butts, barrels and co. on Glencadam whisky.
