Glencadam Reserva Andalucia Oloroso Sherry Cask
Glencadam Reserva Andalucia is a multi-award winning Eastern Highlands single malt that pays homage to the historic relationship between Glencadam Distillery and the famous sherry region of Andalucia, Spain. Handcrafted from carefully selected sherry butts and bourbon casks from Glencadam's dunnage warehouses, then finished in Oloroso Sherry butts from Andalucia, it is a rich, sherry-forward expression of real depth and elegance. Bottled at natural colour, unchillfiltered, and at 46% ABV. Why You'll Love It The Reserva Andalucia is Glencadam's most celebrated cask-finished expression, recognised with gold medals from the IWSC, International Spirits Challenge, and Scotch Whisky Masters across multiple years. The Oloroso Sherry butt finish adds a layer of sultana richness, sweet spice, and honeyed complexity that perfectly complements the distillery's characteristic orchard fruit and vanilla character. For lovers of sherry-influenced Scotch, this is a benchmark expression at an outstanding price. Distillery & Maturation Glencadam distillery has been producing whisky in Brechin in the Eastern Highlands since 1825. The Reserva Andalucia is handcrafted from a marriage of carefully selected sherry butts and bourbon casks from Glencadam's historic dunnage warehouses, before being finished in Oloroso Sherry butts sourced directly from the Andalucia region of Spain. The result is a whisky where the famous fruitiness of the Glencadam spirit is beautifully balanced with sultana richness and sweet spice from the Oloroso cask. Bottled without chill filtration and at a full 46% ABV. Tasting Notes The nose opens with initial aromas of ripe soft fruits, soft nougat, and oaky vanilla, with a background of freshly made fudge. On the palate, smooth and creamy with sultanas, orchard fruits, and toffee apple sweetness. The finish is long lasting and silky smooth, with honey, muscovado sugar, and green tea lingering on the tongue. Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of water. Perfect
