Glencadam Single Malt Scotch Whisky is Now Available in Canada
After a long wait the excellent single malts from the Glencadam Distillery are now available in Canada (currently in British Columbia).
The Glencadam DISTILLERY
The distillery is capable of producing around 1.5 million litres per year and has a storage capacity of approximately 20,000 casks. Plans are under way to increase capacity for storage in the vicinity of the town. The distillery holds stocks of quality whisky up to 30 years old. Glencadam has operated two pot stills since the beginning. The shape of the stills at Glencadam has never altered over the years. An unusual feature about the stills is that their lye pipes run upwards at an angle of 15 degrees rather than downwards. The belief is that this helps to produce a particularly delicate and mellow spirit which after maturation yields sweet and fruity notes in the final product. The essential supply of pure water for distilling depends on Glencadam’s long-held rights to springs at The Moorans, some 8.7 miles away and perhaps the longest water supply for distilling purposes of any Scottish distillery. This precious resource then flows through the Unthank hills on its way to the distillery . The distillery also has rights to draw water from Barry Burn for cooling purposes.
Two editions of Glencadam are being introduced;
Glencadan 10yo Highland Single Malt #656561
Grassy freshness and citrus on the nose and a pleasing harmony between a natural sweetness and the soft spicy oak on the palate.
