The Glencadam Distillery is a distillery in Brechin, Angus, Scotland, is owned by Angus Dundee plc and produces a malt whisky. The rest of the production is sold to blenders or used within Angus Dundee for the production of blended whisky brands.

Glencadam was mothballed during both World Wars. The warehouses were instead used as barracks for soldiers. On the lawn next to Warehouse No. 2, the spot where the commissariats were located can still be seen.

Glencadam was acquired by Hiram Walker in the 1950s, which later became Allied Domeq, closing the distillery in 2000.

Glencadam Single Malt has always been a premium whisky for blending and, as such, was highly sought after for some of the world's most prestigious blends.

On June 1, 2003, Glencadam was finally purchased by Angus Dundee Distillers, an independent Scottish company. Angus Dundee immediately resumed production, and in December 2005, we launched our first single malt product, Glencadam Single Malt Scotch Whisky Aged 15 Years. This whisky was introduced in November 2009 with new packaging and a 10-year-old bottling.

Gordon & MacPhail: A Guide to the Scottish Whisky Bottler with Tradition

Gordon & MacPhail is one of the oldest and most prestigious independent whisky bottlers in Scotland, with origins dating back to 1895. Founded by James Gordon and John Alexander MacPhail, the company remains family-owned, managed by the Urquhart family, and is headquartered in Elgin, in the heart of Speyside, a region famous for its whisky production.

Over a Century of Whisky Expertise

Over the years, Gordon & MacPhail has developed unique expertise in maturing whisky. The company is known for selecting exceptional casks and aging them to perfection in their own warehouses. Many of their whiskies mature for decades, some for over 30, 40, or even 50 years before bottling.

A Diverse Portfolio

Gordon & MacPhail's range includes various product lines such as 'Connoisseurs Choice', 'Private Collection', and 'Generations'. Each line features its own theme and style, ranging from young, vibrant bottlings to rare, decades-old whiskies. Notably, Gordon & MacPhail also offers whiskies from closed distilleries, providing connoisseurs the chance to experience historically significant single malts.

Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

In addition to preserving tradition, Gordon & MacPhail places great emphasis on sustainability and the advancement of their production processes. The company has recently announced plans to gradually reduce its role as an independent bottler and focus more on producing its own distillates. This includes using whisky from their own distilleries like Benromach and The Cairn to enhance the quality and uniqueness of their products.

For whisky enthusiasts, Gordon & MacPhail offer not just a tasting of top-quality malts but also a profound experience of Scottish whisky history, marked by the company's dedication and passion.
