This 15 year old distillery bottling was produced in the 1990s as part of a special series by Allied Distillers.

Despite being nearly 200 years old, Glencadam is still a lesser-known single malt. For the majority of the 20th century it was owned by blenders, first Gilmour Thompson, and then Hiram Walker who bought it in 1954. Over the next half century a series of amalgamations brought the distillery into the hands of Allied Distillers. Despite being the home of the Stewarts Cream of the Barley blend, it was shut down in 2000. Allied Distillers experimented with a brief distillery bottling of Glencadam single malt in the 1980s, but it was not until Angus Dundee re-opened it in 2003 that it was pushed as a single malt brand.

Allied Distillers was established in 1987 as a subsidiary of Allied Lyons followings its take-over of Hiram Walker's spirits interests in Scotland. The company operated under this name until the late 1990s when it became Allied Domecq.
