Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich copper-gold with deep amber hues and a warm, honeyed glow.

Nose

Sherry-softened with ripe orchard fruit and citrus zest, warm vanilla and honey unfold. Dried fig and raisin mingle with cocoa, toasted almond, and subtle spice, while oak and a touch of leather lend gravity. A refined, resinous finish hints at Highland softness.

Palate

Silky and uplifting, the palate greets with honeyed orchard fruit—green apple and pear—brightened by lemon zest, then wrapped in a gentle sherry-touched sweetness. Vanilla, toasted almond and a whisper of spice weave through the mid-palate, while dried fig and raisin deepen the core. Fine, fading oak and a warm, caramel-spiced finish linger with a hint of cocoa.

Finish

Medium-long and refined, the finish coats the palate with honeyed malt and orchard fruit, then unfolds into soft walnut, cocoa, and a delicate sherry sweetness. Subtle oak spice lingers, leaving a silky, inviting warmth.

Glencadam
(glen-CADAM) Glencadam was founded in 1825 by George Cooper in Brechin, making it one of the older Highland distilleries still in operation. Its history includes a long period under blending companies rather than as a major single malt name in its own right, with ownership later passing through Hiram Walker and Allied Domecq before the distillery was mothballed in 2000. A new chapter began in 2003, when Angus Dundee Distillers acquired and reopened the site, with the first new production run under its ownership taking place that August.
