About this spirit

Glencadam Distillery, Highlands

The Glencadam distillery has been founded in 1825 near the royal burgh Brechin in Eastern Highlands by George Copper. In 1954 the distillery was revived and modernised by Hiram Walker of Ballantine's group, that much favoured Glencadam for their blends (Ballantine and Stewart's Cream of the Barley Blends). Allied Distillers closed the distillery in 2000, but in May 2003 Angus Dundee Distillers  came to the rescue as the new proprietors to resume the production. Glencadam is a notably creamy malt, smooth to start, developing strawberries and candy nuances.

Barley

Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
