Single Cask Nation presents an exclusive 13-year-old Glencadam Single Malt Scotch Whisky, bottled from a single cask for a unique tasting experience. Distilled in March 2011 at the Glencadam Distillery, this Highland Region whisky was aged 10 years in an ex-bourbon barrel, then finished for an additional 3 years in a first-fill sherry barrique, adding layers of richness and complexity. Bottled at cask strength with a bold 60.2% ABV, this limited release offers only 207 bottles, perfect for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Expect a rich, floral, and slightly smoky profile that pays homage to classic '80s Bowmore expressions.
