Highland distillery Glencadam is exploring a range of cask finishes in a new small-batch series.
The reserve range was inspired by the success of Glencadam's 2022 release Reserva Andalucia Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish. It features five cask finishes which the distillery says put new spins on its core flavour profile. Each single malt was matured in ex-bourbon barrels before a finishing period in its particular cask type.
The series comprises:
- Glencadam Reserva PX – Pedro Ximénez Sherry Cask Finish
- Glencadam Reserva de Porto Branco – White Port Cask Finish
- Glencadam Reserva de Porto Tawny – Tawny Port Cask Finish
- Glencadam Reservé de Bordeaux – Merlot Wine Cask Finish
- Glencadam Reservé de Burgundy – Pinot Noir Wine Cask Finish
The first of the releases to launch for UK consumers are the Glencadam Reserva PX, Glencadam Reservé de Burgundy, and Glencadam Reserva de Porto Branco, with Glencadam Reserva de Porto Branco only available to UK consumers via the distillery’s online shop. All three are now available to purchase online, priced at £47. Select finishes will also be available from independent and specialist retailers across the UK.
The Glencadam Reserva de Porto Tawny and Glencadam Reservé de Bordeaux expressions are currently only available in select European markets but are set to launch in the UK this autumn.
