Guess what. We were at the distillery in May 2016 and we had a tasting of the core range of Glancadam's whiskies. The 15yo was the first single malt release of the brand immediately after their current owners - Angus Dundee - purchased the distillery in 2003.

Palate: sweet, vanilla overload, creamy milk chocolate, honeycomb, floral, buttercups, honeysuckle,

Conclusion: Nice. I'd prefer this over the 10yo at any time, if it were not for the almost doubled price. Very nice indeed, but not that nice...
