Description
The Glencadam distillery in the Burgh of Brechin has passed through several ownerships since it was founded by George Cooper in 1825 - including Hiram Walker, Ballantine's and Allied Domecq - before being sold to current owners, Angus Dundee Plc in 2003. A working water wheel was re-installed in the heart of Glencadam Distillery, a nod back to how the distillery was powered back in 1825. It is one of two malt distilleries in the Scotch whisky holdings of Angus Dundee Distillers, under whom its single malt brand has quietly developed strong reputation. It was built in 1825 by George Cooper and prior to the 21st century was mostly utilised for the provision of various blenders. Glencadam Reserva PX Single Malt Scotch Whisky is carefully crafted in small batches. From Glencadam's historic dunnage warehouses, the Master Distiller has selected single malt matured in exceptional ex-bourbon American oak casks. The whisky in these casks has then been expertly married and finished in hand-selected Pedro Ximénez Sherry butts sourced from Andalucía, Spain.
