Glencadam's 1998 vintage matured for 22 years in a Fernando de Castilla Pedro Ximénez sherry butt before being bottled at cask strength in 2021, with only 532 bottles released from this single cask. The Pedro Ximénez wood—known for its dark, syrupy influence—would have imparted rich Christmas spice, dark berries, and molasses notes to the Highland spirit's natural character. At cask strength, the texture is viscous and layered, with the oak fully integrated after two decades of maturation. A perfect expression for sherry cask enthusiasts seeking Highland complexity wrapped in rich, fortified wine influence.
