Glencadam 10 Year

Beautiful blend of heat and spice. Hearty.

Pas vilain mais pas grandiose. Odeur très présente de pommes et goût de vanille. Très pâle, un peu comme un AnCnoc. Finale assez courte et chaude, probablement explicable car c’est uniquement un 10 ans. Un scotch de semaine. Goûté chez Mathieu R. en décembre 2023.

Citrus peel, banana skins, apricots and short bread. Vanilla cream and dried fruits. Sweet and sour. Soft feel. Mild sharpness. Medium finish.

Tasty whisky at an incredible value

Glencadam is probably not on everyone's radar, as most of its production goes into the Ballantine's blends. On the nose, fresh citrus, honeydew melon and hints of glue take turns with thyme, vanilla and canned pineapple. Quite crisp and vivid, the taste unfolds with lemon juice, spearmint and mild spices. Sweet and sour notes, green apples and honey emphasize the firm mouthfeel. The aftertaste lingers with ginger, unripe banana and a touch of dry oak. At 10 years of age, this spirit-driven and honest malt does not have to rely on silly wood finishes. RATING: 3.5/5.0 stars ≙ 84 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE
