Glencadam 17 Year Old 2005 Port Pipe Single Cask #2788 | 59% | 70cl | 390 Bottles | Highland Single Malt

A rare and deeply expressive Highland single cask from one of Scotland's most quietly exceptional distilleries. Distilled on 15th April 2005 and bottled in October 2022 after 17 years in port pipes, cask #2788 represents Glencadam at its most vibrant and fruit-forward. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 59% ABV without chill-filtration and with no added colouring, this is an official distillery bottling limited to just 390 individually numbered bottles. This is Glencadam "The Rather Unique" — and on this evidence, that self-description is entirely justified.

About Glencadam Distillery

Founded in 1825 in Brechin, Angus, Glencadam is one of the Highlands' most underrated and quietly distinguished distilleries. Operating under the motto "The Rather Unique," Glencadam has long produced a delicate, elegant style of Highland malt that belies its cask strength releases — which showcase just how much complexity this distillery is capable of when given time and the right wood. Port pipe maturation brings out an entirely different side of Glencadam's character: deep red fruit richness, chocolate, and warming spice that the distillery's spirit carries beautifully over 17 years.
