ABOUT Cadenhead

Founded in 1842 in Aberdeen, Cadenhead's is Scotland's oldest whisky bottler. They emphasize cask selection, spirit maturation, and uncovering hidden distilleries. With ownership of thousands of casks, continually replenished, they offer a wide array of cask choices, carefully selecting the optimal ones. True to their philosophy, they prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on releasing satisfying bottles with perfectly matured spirits. Furthermore, they value the decision-making process, not being swayed by factors like the age of maturation or whether the whisky was distilled in a renowned distillery. While it's easy to bottle enticing whisky from famous distilleries, Cadenhead's takes pride in discovering hidden gems from lesser-known distilleries.
