A great value and underrated Highland single malt, this is Glencadam 15 Years Old. It was wholly matured in American oak bourbon casks and then bottled at 46% ABV at natural colour and un-chill filtered. The fruity, creamy, and sweet dram has scored big at various award shows, including recording an outstanding score of 98 points out of 100 at the 2022 International Wine & Spirits Competition.
Fragrant, spicy aromas like gingerbread and cinnamon cut through bright citrus, orchard fruit, and a little beeswax.
Oak char, marmalade, pineapple slices, and white grapes lead with rum spice, coconut milk, and Corinth raisins in support.
Fresh fruit on the tail, with hints of toasted oak.

Enjoyed the sample very much. It was sweeter than I was expecting, with notes of bitter cherry and dark chocolate. Not quite my favourite style - I tend to prefer Islay - but very balanced and enjoyable.
