We were packed to the rafters last Thursday for an evening with Jordan Hillman, who took us through a wee sample of his family owned, Glencadam / Tomintoul range.
Jordans grandfather founded Angus Dundee distillers PLC over 50 years ago and during that time acquired the above distilleries, saving Glencadam distillery from being demolished to make way for a supermarket!
It was anecdotes like this and some remarkably easy drinking, delicious whisky that made for a highly engrossing night.
For me, it is hard to pick a favourite. The16yo Tomintoul and 10yo Glencadam are perfect entry points to the delights of scotch. The different cask expressions, tawny port, oloroso sherry add huge depth and character and are done with such dexterity, the art of the distiller shines through.
The clear crowd favourite was the Glencadam pedro ximenez finish which also happens to have won, Highland whisky of the year 2024 at the World whisky awards.
Speaking of the crowd, what a super bunch of old and new faces, can’t do it without you!
And special mention to Jordan, such a relaxed, engaging host, thank you.
We have access to the complete range of the Angus Dundee portfolio so if there is something you want and we don’t have and it is currently available, just ask.
Big plans for future evenings in the pipeline. Please keep an eye on our social media, Facebook and Instagram or sign up to our newsletter through our website https://www.millhillwines.com/
