Glencadam Reserva is a richly indulgent small batch single malt Scotch whisky, crafted at the historic Glencadam distillery in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland. Aged in ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts from Andalucia, it is a whisky of extraordinary depth, sweetness, and complexity that rewards every sip.

Why You'll Love It

Glencadam is one of Scotland's quieter gems, a distillery that has been producing whisky since 1825 with a focus on quality over noise. The Reserva expression takes their characterful Highland spirit and elevates it through a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts, some of the most flavour-rich casks available to any distiller. The result is a whisky that is lush, warming, and deeply satisfying, with layers of dried fruit, spice, and sweetness that make it one of the most compelling drams at this price point. Distillery & Maturation The whisky is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, which lay down a foundation of vanilla and gentle oak character. It is then transferred to Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts from Andalucia in southern Spain, where the intensely sweet, raisin-rich residue of PX Sherry imparts extraordinary depth, dried fruit complexity, and a warming richness that defines the Reserva style. Bottled in small batches to ensure consistency and quality in every release.

Tasting Notes

The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of Christmas pudding, dried figs, dark chocolate, cedar, and clove spice. On the palate, sweet and layered with maple syrup, treacle toffee, and prunes mingling with maraschino cherries and brandy butter. The finish is long, warming, and deeply satisfying, with cinder toffee, fruit cake, and crystallised ginger tailing off into a lingering note of cherry jam. Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of water. Perfect Serve Enjoy neat to appreciate the full richness and complexity of the PX finish, or add a few drops of still water to open up the dried fruit aromas. Also a wonder
