Mark Twain once wrote, ‘Too much of anything is bad, but too much of a good whisky is barely enough.’ We tag on to his sentiment to introduce a limited release, yielding from the Scottish Highlands near the ancient city of Brechin. In 1991, nourished by waters from natural springs in the Unthank Hills, a particularly mellow single malt whisky was born, and proved to be gratifying.

In December 2007, Single & Single founder Yossi Schwartz bought 14 barrels of the finest, untouched whisky from Daewar Rattray Ltd, Scotland. Keeping the whisky as pure and natural as possible, the casks where poured into a single vat before being bottled in a non-chilled, non-filtered process, without tinting or the adding of caramel. The result as described by Phillip Kirk, Milroy’s of Soho, London:

‘This Single & Single Glencadam 1991 has a most attractive bouquet of vanilla, mandarin and hint of caramelised ginger.

‘On the palate it is full and rich with a pronounced malty sweetness with a touch of cloves and butterscotch. A firm, long finish that lingers impressively.’

The mellow personality of this whisky takes true character from the Scottish Highlands where the quality of the water has ensured a highly sophisticated single malt that is soft and gentle. Only 3,840 bottles, individually numbered, have been released for sale.
