.glencadam - origin 1825 - revisited

Glencadam, known for their 10, 15 and 21 year old whiskies. In recent years they have added a selection of finishes to their core range, still in varying ages.

single malt

Nose: sweet, vanilla, fruity, ripe apples, pear, a hint of pineapple and coconut

Palate: sweet, vanilla, light floral honey, floral, heather, fruit, pear

Finish: easy going, sweet, a hint of vanilla, fruit, pears, rather short
Mark: +++++

More info from the press release:

"A very special collection of casks was chosen for the Origin 1825 edition. The final selection consisted of a unique marriage of whisky matured in first-class American white oak bourbon barrels with whisky “finished” in the finest Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts."

.many thanks to Angus Dundee distillers for sending us the sample
