Wine Cask
Whiskies matured in Sauternes casks are always rather intriguing, as they can really bring out a bold, zest, fruity notes of the spirit. This expression we've got right here is a marvellous example! It's a 13 year old single malt from the Glencadam Distillery, initially aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks, before being transferred over to casks that previous held deliciously sweet Sauternes wine. A release of 3,042 bottles.
Sugared almonds, hay, candied orange, a dusting of cinnamon.
Spun sugar, cheesecake, just a hint of crushed peppercorn, apricot and nectarine.
Some strawberry sweetness appears on the finish.

Tried as part of the pour and sip club live tasting with the ambassador (who was great fun) This was incredible. Love a Glencadam anyway but the notes the Sauternes adds are sublime.
What a great Whisky this is. Very smooth and not harsh. Fantastic notes. As part of this month pour and sip collection I am please that I signed up for it now and by far the dram in the sets I have tasted so far.
