Glencadam 10 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced at the Glencadam Distillery in Brechin, Angus in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland. The whisky is aged exclusively in American oak bourbon barrels and is bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration or added coloring. It typically retails for around $50-60.
The palate is light and mouthwatering; juicy apple and vanilla mix with smoke and clove heat. The alcohol heat is persistent, even with a fair amount of water it's still mouthnumbing.
While it leads off with some more base alcohol notes, it evolves to reveal notes of fresh-cut barley, heather, orange peel, nougat, a bit of baking spice, and sugary breakfast cereal. That’s meant as a compliment. Cinnamon toast, maybe?
