Glencadam Small Batch AMERICAN OAK Reserve Bourbon Barrel-Matured 40% vol. 0.7 l in a gift box online kaufen

The Glencadam Small Batch AMERICAN OAK Reserve Bourbon Barrel Matured is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky that places particular emphasis on maturation in American oak. For the American Oak Reserve, Master Distiller Robert Fleming personally selects bourbon casks from Kentucky, in which the whisky develops its characteristic cask-influenced style. The whisky is then stored in the traditional Dunnage Warehouses at the Glencadam Distillery, whose classic architecture has been used for the maturation of Scotch whisky for generations. Through maturation in ex-bourbon casks made of American oak, this bottling combines Glencadam’s elegant distillery character with the influence of the casks previously filled with American whisky. The single malt is bottled as a small batch with an alcohol content of 40 per cent.


The Glencadam Distillery is based in the Scottish Highlands and has deliberately chosen a clear cask focus for its American Oak Reserve. Unlike bottlings with additional sherry, port or wine cask finishes, this whisky concentrates on the characteristics of selected bourbon barrels. Consequently, maturation in American oak barrels is the defining characteristic of this expression. The personal selection of casks by Master Distiller Robert Fleming, as well as storage in the traditional Dunnage Warehouse, underline the artisanal approach behind the Glencadam American Oak Reserve. Presented in a 0.7-litre bottle with a gift box, this Highland single malt is ideal both as an addition to a whisky collection and as a gift for connoisseurs of classic bourbon-cask-matured Scotch whiskies.

The Glencadam American Oak Reserve is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at room temperature or with a few drops of still water. In terms of food pairings, roasted chestnuts and almonds, mild hard cheese, apple crumble or desserts featuring vanilla and light-coloured fruits complement its bourbon-cask-influenced character. This bottling also makes for an accessible Highland single malt for a comparative tasting of various ex-bourbon cask maturations. The combination of its small-batch character and gift box also makes the whisky a fitting choice for birthdays, gifts or other special occasions.
