This single cask bottling of an 8-year-old Glencadam single malt was produced by the independent bottler A.D. Rattray in the Cask Collection series. The whisky was distilled in 2012, matured in a first-fill ex-bourbon hogshead and was bottled at cask strength in 319 bottles in 2021.
Glencadam (roughly: Valley of the Wild Goose) is a distillery in Brechin, Scotland, which was founded in 1825. It was sold to Hiram Walker in 1954 and the whisky was used for blends of the Ballantines brand. From 2000 to 2003, the distillery was not active, but since 2009, there is again a complete series of original bottlings.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
