Glencadam 15 Years single malt scotch whisky is from the Highlands of Scotland. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, it is unpeated and matured in ex-bourbon casks.
This is quite sweet and inviting on the nose, then austere as hell on the palate (but no less interesting)… it feels like two different whiskies with the exception of the cereal-malt backbone threaded through there. I think I prefer it neat– water unlocks some new notes here and there, but it disturbs the already-very-precarious balance.
Touches of cinchona, lemon juice, Schweppes, Campari, green peppers, hints of aniseed, coriander… I believe you could drizzle this over an insalata caprese. Finish: our friends the walnuts are back. Awesome.
