Rediscover Excellence: Glencadam Distillery reintroduces 18 Years Old Whisky


The elegant and beautifully balanced Glencadam 18 Years Old Single Malt is bottled at 46% alc/vol, at natural colour and is non-chill filtered, echoing the previous bottlings. Expertly crafted by Master Distiller Robert Fleming, the carefully selected single malt is distilled and matured in exceptional hand-selected American oak ex-bourbon casks.

As one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, dating back to 1825, Glencadam is steeped in history, heritage and tradition, handcrafting single malt Scotch whisky in a process that’s remained unchanged for almost 200 years. The East Highland distillery, located in the town of Brechin, Angus, was mothballed for a short period between 1999 and 2003, which led to Glencadam 18 Years Old being unavailable in recent years.

New inventory is now available and Master Distiller, Robert Fleming, said: “It’s great to have the expression back. Beautifully balanced and creamy, it’s clear to see why there is such demand for Glencadam 18 Years Old Single Malt.

“With refined aromas of Glencadam’s signature tropical fruits and spice on the nose, the palate is complex and fruity giving way to a smooth, warm and long-lasting finish.

The re-introduced Glencadam 18 Years Old is set to be a permanent line extension for the range, bridging the gap between the multi award-winning 15 years old and the oldest expression in the brand’s core range, the 25 year old.

Glencadam 18 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky will be available to purchase worldwide from 27th July, from independent and specialist retailers in the UK, as well as Glencadam’s online shop for £145 per 70cl bottle: shop.angusdundee.co.uk.
