General description

I have been after a bottle of this whisky for quite some time, if for no other reason than I wanted a gentle drinker that was a little less than the obvious choice.

I had also, in fairness, heard nothing but good things about this whisky as being a brilliant representation of what soft and fruity spirit, matured in bourbon and meddled with as little as you could expect can really do. And all those people were quite right.

This is an incredible drinker, wonderfully subtle and certainly not a bit shouty dram but of course it wouldn't be for what Glencadam themselves refer to as "the rather delicate" Highland single malt.

Inoffensive for those that want nothing more, beautifully balanced and full of character for those that want to find it.

Nose

Super perfumed nose here, full of orange peel, flowers, fresh grass and vanilla. There is a light sweetness to the whole thing with a hint of cinnamon and brown sugar whispering around the edges.

Palate

Soft delivery, light lemon zestyness and fresh orchard fruit. Plenty of vanilla and gentle ginger spice across the tongue with apples and underripe peaches.

Finish

Short, perhaps mid-length and quite a lot of gentle spice playing along the tongue. It is quite sherbety in the soft citrus tingle it leaves behind.

General description

A very nice whisky, But a little overpriced.
lots of fruit and I like that it is un chill filtered and no colouring added

Nose

Sweet Pineapple and vanilla, very fruity and floral notes.

Palate

Flowers, Stewed apples, pear, grapes and a little wood and spice. Spice and a little nuttiness coat your mouth. A Very nice tingle on the tongue.

Finish

Melon and Oak, a little vanilla and Wood. A nice tingle when you swallow. Citrus fruits and a copper note on the finish.

General description

I bought this whisky as a sample, alongside the 13 and the 18, as an introduction to the distillery, and this was my favourite of the three. There’s less of the “odd” funk plasticine notes of the 13 and it’s more lively and flavourful than the 18. On this evidence, Glencadam produce a fabulous distillate, and this showcases it beautifully in all its paired back, honest glory. I was a big fan of this whisky and will be buying a bottle sooner or later.

Nose

Fresh, lively nose. There’s lots of malt and rustic bread, alongside grapefruit and orchard fruits: freshly sliced green apple and pear. Theres also nutmeg spice and a hint of vanilla that comes through under the surface of the dominant notes.

Palate

Light mouthfeel, but packed with flavour. The flavour profile plays out fairly true to the nose, with grapefruit and green apple on the arrival, there’s a bit more of a hint of lemon than was on the nose though. The hay/malt notes come through in the mid palate, as well as some slightly bitter (in a good way) herbaceous notes, like eating raw sorrel or fennel leaves. As with the nose there are some subtle hints of vanilla in the background.

Finish

The finish for me really plays out the grapefruit note, which lingers for some time, the herbaceous sorrel/fennel notes then start to come to the fore, accented with the slightest hint of sweet barley sugar. Wonderful, whisky as whisky should be!
