Cadenhead's 9 years 2007 Of. An Islay Distillery Warehouse Tasting
The wine
An Islay whisky distilled in 2007 and matured in a hogshead for nine years. This cask was chosen by Cadenhead from the vaults of the distillery where it was distilled. Cadenhead was founded in 1842 by George Duncan, who was quickly joined by William Cadenhead who renamed the business after Duncan’’s death in 1858. When Cadenhead in turn passed away in 1904, his nephew Robert Duthie took over and turned the business into the independent bottler it is today. After Duthie, it was managed by one of his employees, Ann Olivier, whose stubborn approach to running the business led to much of the stock having to be sold at auction by Christie’’s (London) in 1972 to feed the kitty and save the business. It was then sold to J. & A. Mitchell and Co, who also owned Springbank, and moved to Campbeltown.
