GLENCADAM 15YO MALT WHISKY – 1L
99.00€
Tasting note: Bright pale gold. Super soft, with a lazy bouquet of pure grain. Second inspection finds weet bix, beeswax, and added fruitiness after several minutes aeration followed by hints of green apple. Five years have gone a long way to softening the mouthfeel – this absolutely purrs and with perfect sweet/dry balance. At first firm and grainy, then more buttery and fruity, unraveling with beeswax, restrained oak, and light spices to finish. Great stuff! 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews… Straw yellow/goldenrod color; excellent clarity. Opening sniffs encounter sturdy, concentrated, malty notes that are dry to off-dry and slightly citrusy; later whiffs pick up a small element of oak, vanilla, almond paste, but overall the bouquet is more violin than a tuba. Entry is medium-rich, toasted, roasted, grainy, malty, and highly piquant/peppery; midpalate is long, floral, toasted, malty. Finishes medium-long, very creamy, chewy, delightfully spicy, warming in the throat. 4 Stars. Highly Recommended – Spirit Journal March 2015

Description
Glencadam 15 has gone from strength to strength since a packaging facelift in 2009, at which time the strength was upped to 46% by owners Angus Dundee, who took over the distillery from Allied in 2003. An undersung distillery that is now starting to stretch its wings with some very good value for money whiskies.
