Description

Glencadam's 15 Year Old new bottling is unchillfiltered and rates as good the old 15, if not better, as  it preserves the whiskys' natural characteristics and subtlety of taste. Glencadam combines Highland floral character and grassiness with a lightly phenolic twist at the end.

Colour: Pale gold
Nose: Salty notes with balance of sweetness. Delicate, elegant and charming.
Palate: Cut-grass juiciness with mouth-watering malty signature. Restrained sweetness caressed by soft oak.
Finish:  Medium length. Oak balancing sweeter characteristics with malty reprise

Critics reviews

Other
Nose
Powerful. Spicy. Cinnamon. Dry.
Palate
Cereal, coconut, toffee, raisins. Winey.
Finish
Rummy. Medicinal.
Comment
A very unusual whisky. I liked it, but it would benefit from a firmer malty middle to support the interesting component flavours.

Michael Jackson - Whisky Magazine Issue 46 Nose
Clean and quite big-boned. Putty, bruised peach, pencil shavings, fruit tea, a light waxiness.
Palate
Medium-bodied. Good weight and very, very soft. Fine texture with light, spicy oak tones.
Finish
A tart lift which picks interest up.
Comment
Well put together.

About this SPIRIT

Glencadam Distillery, Highlands

Glencadam Distillery, Highlands

The Glencadam distillery has been founded in 1825 near the royal burgh Brechin in Eastern Highlands by George Copper. In 1954 the distillery was revived and modernised by Hiram Walker of Ballantine's group, that much favoured Glencadam for their blends (Ballantine and Stewart's Cream of the Barley Blends).

Allied Distillers closed the distillery in 2000, but in May 2003 Angus Dundee Distillers  came to the rescue as the new proprietors to resume the production.

Glencadam is a notably creamy malt, smooth to start, developing strawberries and candy nuances.
