Product details
The Glencadam distillery was founded back in 1825, and though it was mothballed at the turn of the millennium, in 2003 it was sold to Angus Dundee, which wasted no time in getting it back on its feet within two months of the acquisition. This is a limited-edition wine cask-finished single malt from the Highland distillery, initially matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks before being moved to casks which previously held Sauternes wine.
The sweet dessert wine hails from Bordeaux, made with the rarer white grapes from the region, and is full of stone fruits, tropical fruit, and butterscotch flavours, all of which have made their way into this whisky! Seeing as dessert wine is made for after dinner sipping, this’ll also do well as a postprandial dram.
