Glencadam 21 Year

Just good whisky. Nothing special, just good. If you don't like this you don't like single malt. No sherry, no peat, no fancy casks, nothing of the sort. Maybe just a little to much vanilla, tends to dominate.

Did a tasting with the '10', '15' and '21'. The '10' is obviously still rough around the edges, but has a pleasant fruity flavourprofile that makes up for it. It has a nice citruszing to it. Very enjoyable. Good value for money. The '15' is spicier and leans much heavier into chocolate and caramelflavours after the extra maturation. Tasty, but a heavier taste. Maybe more for winter. It is smoother than the 10, but loses some of the fun, refreshing zing that the 10 has. The '21' went back a bit to some of the more fruity flavours. It tries to find balance in between the flavourprofile of the '10' and '15'. Definitely nice and I prefer it to the '15', but at the higher pricetag and compared to other brands I'm not really convinced to add it to my cabinet. I really enjoy the '10'. It's the only one of the three that I want to add to my cabinet, based on enjoyment and pricetag.

Apple and pear on the nose, ginger spice on the palate and a spicy burn for the finish. Very good!

Toast, caramel, butterscotch, toffee, cereal husk. Intense, complex, long finish
