Glencadam decided to pay homage the wonderful Jerez region of Spain with Reserva Andalucía, an appropriately sherried single malt! Both sherry and bourbon-matured malts were married together before the blend was then finished in Oloroso sherry butts from Andalucía itself. A true celebration of the ever-wonderful sherry cask, full of that hallmark spice, dried fruit and honey!
Baklava, honeyed orchard fruit and vanilla pod, with melted brown sugar and cinnamon.
Some creamy influence alongside stewed apple, treacle toffee and plump raisin.
More brown sugar returns, with green oak and maple syrup in support.
I like glencadam and wanted to see what it was like with some Sherry influence. I wasn’t disappointed! Great dram for the price. Reminded me of Gingerbread.
Absolutely love anything with sherry and I pretty much drink only sherried whiskies. I have had Glencadam's 10 year old on one of those occasions I fancied being brave enough to try something different and it was superb. This sherry finish is reasonably well balanced and doesn't allow the sherry to overpower the spirit. But, overall, the 10 year old was better for me. And cheaper. A win win!
