Viewer's Comments about Glencadam
 Glencadam
Distillery, located in the ancient city of Brechin in the
Highlands of Scotland, is the only distillery in the Angus
region. It was founded in 1825 by George Copper, just one
year after distilling was legalised in Scotland. The stills
have a special shape, an unusual feature being that their
pipes run upwards at an angle of 15° rather than downwards,
helping to produce a particularly mellow flavour.
Throughout the years, ownership changed several times before
coming under ownership of Hiram Walker & Son (Ballantine's)
in 1954. Their purpose of obtaining Glencadam was for Ballantine's
blends. In May 2003, the distillery became property of Angus
Dundee Distillers Plc. Almost all the production is for blending
and specifically for use in Ballantine's and Stewart's Cream
of the Barley blends.
Glencadam Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 15 Years
is the first Single Malt from this distillery since 1825 which
was distilled for the general public. It is exceptional. It
is available in 70cl and I Litre sizes. Glencadam 15 Year
Old won a Gold Medal at the International Spirits Challenge
2005, recognising it as a Single Malt of high quality which
will be much sought after by the discerning consumer.
Angus Dundee Distillers Plc is an independent company with
over 50 years' experience in the production, bottling, and
distribution of fine Scotch Whiskies and other spirits. Angus
Dundee also owns Tomintoul, a malt distillery which is located
in the Speyside Glenlivet region. Their success is based on
supplying top quality products at competitive prices. |

The
Glencadam Distillery
Glencadam Distillery is situated to the east
of Brechin next to Glebe Park where the football team, Brechin
City play their home matches. Its water source comes from
springs in the Unthank Hills. It has one wash still and
one spirit still. Its capacity is 1,400,000 litres of alcohol
per year.
The distillery was renovated in 1959 and continued production
until it was mothballed by Allied Distillers due to over-production
in 2000. However, after Angus Dundee Distillers Plc acquired
Glencadam in 2003, the distillery was revived.
