Glencadam 13 Year Old - The Reawakening 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“PICKLED lime rinds, gooseberries, sweet rhubarb. Lime juice and sugar. Red currants. Unripe tangerines. GRAPE juice. Green and red APPLES. Peppermint. Ferny / GRASSY notes, shrubs and summer rains. Bit of ginger. Sour unripe wild strawberries. Orange juice, very fresh citrusy apricots. Orange flavored licorice laces. Pineapple. Crisp, clear PEAR / pear drops. VANILLA, almost buttery. Cream. Sour cream. Pistachio ice cream. A touch of Bearnaise sauce: that would be chervil, tarragon, and I would also say shallot onions - that floral kind of scent you get from those. Violets, rose petals, think Barbaresco wine, or a Merlot. Almonds. Garlic bread. Tokaji or even Fino Sherry - a slight touch of that refreshing yeastiness (which fades soon after you've poured a dram). Perhaps some other herbs as well: oregano, I think so. Thyme? - - Oak comes through like a ~15~ YEAR OLD, very soft but complex. - - Very aromatic. Fruity. Scotch mist on full display. PALATE is custardy and punchy, with white pepper, ginger, lemon juice and lime rinds. Finishes with apples and pears, and sugary grapes. Medium finish. [ BATCH 4 ]”
