Glencadam is something of a loner distillery in the eastern highlands. It was closed by Allied Distillers in 2000 but thankfully reopened under new owners Angus Dundee Ltd in 2003 who now distill at full capacity. They have also released a couple of official bottlings at very fair prices for which they should be commended.

Glencadam does not figure very often on whisky lovers maps, probably due to its obscure nature and life as a blending horse. The range has expanded in recent years and Angus Dundee's modest approach to their fine malt is deeply refreshing in this age of ridiculous marketing hyperbole and mad, over-priced bottlings.
