A marvellous addition to the Benchmark series of indie bottlings from Murray McDavid, it's a single malt from Glencadam! Distilled in 2012, this one was matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead, finished in a single first-fill oloroso sherry cask, and bottled after nine years, at a hearty 59.2% ABV.
Prunes, dates, and soaked sultanas, with maple syrup and a spicy touch of crushed peppercorns.
Baked orchard fruits, silky toffee, and oily malt, with nutty, spiced fruit cake building alongside warming oak char.
Rich coffee with vanilla cream, sweet, dark berries, prickles of peppery heat.
