Teamwork contributes to global success of Glencadam Distillery

Glencadam Distillery was established in 1825 in the heart of the ancient town of Brechin, and is one of the oldest whisky distilleries in Scotland. It has enjoyed a long and interesting history, having been closed during both World Wars and used to barrack soldiers. To this day you can still see the evidence of this at the distillery.

In 2000 it was mothballed, and lay silent for three years before being bought by Angus Dundee Distillers, who saw the huge potential for this hidden gem of the Eastern Highlands.

Throughout the years, the distillery itself has remained mostly unchanged, and retains all the original character and charm from when it was built in 1825. It has two unique stills, which produce a rare “Eastern Highlands” style of whisky, which is very fruity and slightly spicy.

The distillery is a key part of the community and has many links to local people and businesses, including being one of the main sponsors of Brechin City FC.

Most of the Glencadam team have worked at the distillery for many years, honing their skills and developing their whisky experience by working in different parts of the production process, from the still room to maturation and blending.

It is this hard work and experience which has contributed to Glencadam’s success, making it a global brand which has won many awards for the quality and excellence of its unique whisky, all produced by the team in Brechin.
