Today, Glencadam is the only active distillery in the town of Angus. The distillery has two stills and is situated near the River Esk in the Highland region of Scotland. It takes the water for its spirit from nearby springs in the surrounding green hills.
The water has been celebrated for being particularly soft, causing the whisky to have a creamy taste. The distillery has a relatively small production capacity of 1.4 million liters. The current owners are the reputable Angus Dundee company who purchased the distillery in 2003.
