Glencadam Distillery extends innovative cask finish collection with a duo of new expressions
Historic East Highland distillery Glencadam has announced two new exciting cask finishes as part of its innovative non-age statement collection – Glencadam Riserva Di Amarone and Glencadam Reserva De Madeira.
Handcrafted in small batches by Master Distiller Robert Fleming, each expression has been matured in exceptional American oak ex-bourbon casks – true to the distillery’s signature style – before being expertly married and finished in hand selected barrels to add new dimension to Glencadam’s classic orchard and tropical fruit flavours.
Creating new, distinctive taste profiles, Glencadam Riserva Di Amarone – Amarone Wine Cask Finish (RRP £47) and Glencadam Reserva De Madeira – Madeira Wine Cask Finish (RRP £47) have both been bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and at natural colour.
Glencadam Riserva di Amarone has been matured in the finest Amarone wine casks sourced from Italy to create an opulent entry-level expression. On the nose, there is sweet aromas of cherry jam, marzipan, fruit nougat and pistachio, bound with baking spices. On the palate, a wash of red fruits, crystallised ginger and strawberry liquorice, mingled with oak spices, candied peels and cacao. To finish, layers of cappuccino, dark chocolate, Morello cherry and raspberry jam, leaving a warming wood spice linger.
Glencadam Reserva De Madeira, finished in the finest Madeira wine casks sourced from Portugal’s Madeira Islands, is sweet and rounded. On the nose, there’s aromas of cooked apples, brambles and custard tarts, with syrup sponge cake, nutmeg and berry coulis. On the palate, a wash of spiced fruits, cantaloupe melon, golden raisins and summer fruit pudding, structured with dark chocolate and ginger spices. Long and indulgent layers of brittle toffee are then finished with mocha and chocolate truffle, cushioned with cosy cake spices.
The extension of the NAS collection follows the success of previous cask finish releases, including Glencadam Reserva PX which picked up the Gold Award at the International Wine & Spirits Competition, International Spirits Challenge and the Scotch Whisky Masters earlier this year. It was also named the ‘Best Highland Single Malt’ at the 2024 World Whiskies Awards.
This follows the success of the distillery’s Glencadam Reserva Andalucía Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish. Quickly becoming a firm favourite in the award-winning portfolio, the expression has been awarded a string of impressive accolades since its release, winning a Gold Outstanding award at IWSC, scoring an impressive 98/100 in both 2022 and 2023, as well as picking up a Gold medal at the 2023 International Spirits Challenge, also for the second consecutive year.
The latest expressions in the Cask Finish collection will be available to purchase from 29 August 2024 at select independent and specialist retailers in the UK.
