A new bottling from Angus Dundee Distillers (who also own Tomintoul Distillery), the owners of Glencadam Distillery located near Brechin, Angus on the East coast of Scotland. Happily the owners have bottled their new offerings (10yo & 15yo) at 46% ABV and without chill filtration or the addition of spirit caramel; the message is sinking in! The nose reveals some delicate spicy oak notes followed by intense citrus, fruit and delicate wine notes. A slight hint of pine in the background? A wonderful nose with absolutely no off notes. The taste is simply delicious with dry bourbon, marzipan, a slight hint of smoke (quite possibly imagined!) lots of dry oaky notes and malt delivered in the middle of the whole experience. Some later green malt notes surface after a minute or two. The finish brings forth malt, some grassy notes and an intriguing hint of smoke once again. Quite dry and long, barley sugar.

A delight; one not to be missed. A new classic from Glencadam.
