Glencadam Distillery adds 27-year-old single malt to cask finish range

Glencadam Distillery has launched a new limited edition 27-year-old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish, Glencadam Reserva de Jerez (RRP £725).

Carefully selected and specially crafted by master distiller Robert Fleming, the new expression was distilled in 1996 and initially matured in exceptional ex-bourbon American oak casks, before being expertly married then finished in the finest Oloroso Sherry butts sourced from Jerez, Spain.

Aged for nearly three decades in the Royal Burgh of Brechin, the East Highland single malt combines heritage and tradition to offer an elegant expression with a complex and indulgent flavour profile. Limited to only 1,691 individually numbered bottles, the single malt has been bottled at 46% alc / vol, non-chill filtered and at natural colour.

This is the latest in a series of limited edition cask finish releases from Glencadam which has seen the distillery pick up an impressive array of award wins over the last 12 months, including its Glencadam Reserva PX Cask Finish which won Best Highland Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards.

“As one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries, dating back to 1825, Glencadam uses traditional methods passed down through generations to produce our award-winning single malt. This new expression builds on the success of our latest cask finish releases, while paying homage to the relationship between Glencadam Distillery and the famous sherry region of Spain,” Fleming said.

“These Oloroso Sherry butts impart unique flavours, which give depth and complexity to our Reserva de Jerez expression, showing a different side to Glencadam while embodying our commitment to excellence.”

The limited edition 27-year-old Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish Reserva De Jerez is now available to purchase from independent and specialist retailers across the UK.
