Glencadam distillery is a distillery in Brechin, Angus, Scotland that produces single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is owned by Angus Dundee plc and produces one malt whisky, with the remainder of production sold to blenders or used within Angus Dundee plc for use in blended whisky brands.
History
The Glencadam Distillery was founded in 1825,[2] by merchant George Cooper, about 200 yards from Brechin Distillery.[3] David Scott was the proprietor from 1827 to 1837.[4] The distillery changed hands a number of times between 1837 and 1891. Gilmour, Thompson & Company Limited purchased the distillery in 1891 and used some of the Glencadam product in their Royal Blend brand of blended whiskey. The distillery, as with most others, reduced production during World War II owing to fuel and grain rationing.[3]
