Glencadam Reserva PX

Glencadam Reserva PX Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted in small batches, how small I'm not sure but Glencadam's historic dunnage warehouses, have selected single malt matured in ex-bourbon American oak casks. The single malt in these casks has then finished in hand selected Pedro Ximénez Sherry butts sourced from Andalucia, Spain. This is a NAS 70cl bottle at 46% Abv but is Unchilled Filtered and Natural Colour TASTING NOTES Nose Rich aromas of Christmas pudding, dried figs and dark chocolate bound with clove spices. There is a slight burnt match note which sits with the sherry funk. Palate Sweet layers of maple syrup, treacle toffees and prunes mingled with cherries, brandy butter and Black Forest Gateaux. Finish Warming impressions of cinder toffee, fruit cake and crystallised ginger tailing off into a cherry jam and espresso coffee linger. For the money you can't go wrong with this and it delivered everything it said it would. Not overly complex with a very sweet (but really pleasant) forward note which quickly steps back from that initial taste to give sherried baking spices with a hint of pepper. This could easily pass off as a more exspensive and aged whisky (8 - 10 year mark). It would be interesting to know the age of the spirit and just how much finishing took place, but thats just me being a nurd. I can't help it and I do understand some of the reasons for it, but NAS always make me feel like they are trying trick me in some way, wish they would just stick an age on it as its a really nice whisky and truly great value.
