Description
Glencadam's 1990 distillation spent 27 years in a refill bourbon barrel before Gordon & MacPhail bottled it at cask strength (49.9% ABV) in September 2018 for their Connoisseurs Choice series. Extended bourbon maturation in refill wood creates a spirit-forward profile with subtle wood spice, delicate orchard fruits, and a waxy mouthfeel characteristic of old Highland malts. The finish is dry and lingering with hints of tobacco leaf. A collectors' piece limited to 124 bottles, suited to those who prefer aged spirits with minimal cask intervention.
