Brand: Glencadam | Category: Highland Single Malt Scotch | ABV: 46% | Origin: Scotland | Vol: 700ml

The Forgotten Highland, Perfected

Glencadam 19 Year Old is a masterclass in quiet sophistication. Unpeated, unfiltered, and matured in American oak for nearly two decades, it delivers all the grace of a Highland malt with a complexity that speaks far louder than its fame. Subtle yet structured, delicate yet undeniably full-bodied, this is Glencadam’s spirit in peak form.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Freshly peeled pear, vanilla pod, and lemon curd, wrapped in a breeze of soft oak, floral honey, and dried hay. A Highland garden in a glass, crisp, bright, and quietly inviting.

Palate:
Elegant and mouth-coating. Apple tart, creamy barley, sweet citrus oils, and light baking spice unfold with restraint and confidence. The American oak influence adds structure and warmth without ever overwhelming.

Finish:
Long, clean, and satisfying. Lingering notes of vanilla cream, almond, and malted biscuit slowly fade, leaving a gentle echo of citrus and oak.

Production Details

Distilled at Glencadam Distillery, established in 1825 in the town of Brechin, this 19-year-old expression is bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered, and natural in color. Matured exclusively in American oak ex-bourbon casks, it showcases the distillery’s delicate spirit in an unadorned and honest form, aged to quiet perfection.

Perfect For

Refined palates seeking something off the mainstream. Ideal for slow evenings, post-dinner reflections, or side-by-side with similarly aged Highland malts. This isn’t a show-off whisky it’s a conversation with depth.

Expert Notes

Often described as one of Scotland’s most underrated distilleries, Glencadam delivers elegant complexity and consistent quality. The 19 Year Old is a standout: vibrant, nuanced, and an excellent bridge between youthful Highland brightness and long-aged grace.

Customer Reviews

"Delicate but deep — this is what a nearly 20-year Highland should taste like." — Joaquin, BGC

"I kept coming back to it. Every sip had something new." — Eloise, Cebu

"It doesn’t shout, it speaks. Brilliant whisky." — Andres, Makati

Interesting Fact

Unlike most distilleries, Glencadam uses a unique technique where the spirit stills have no boil balls preserving lighter, fruitier esters. It’s part of why their whiskies feel so bright, even with age.

Serving Suggestions

Sip neat to enjoy its full spectrum of fruit and malt complexity. A splash of water reveals more creamy sweetness and subtle citrus. Perfect with almond shortbread, white chocolate, or a quiet fireside hour.
