Glencadam First Cask Whisky 29 Year Old · 1972 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with sunlit copper-gold highlights and mahogany edges.

Nose

Elegant and mature, this nose pours polished oak with a pronounced sherry lift. Dried fruits—figs, raisins, dates—combine with bright orange zest, vanilla, and caramel-toffee. Nutty almond and hazelnut mingle with cinnamon and clove, while cocoa nib and a whisper of malt add depth. A refined, warming bouquet that promises complexity.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and refined, this 29-year-old carries dried fig, raisin and dark plum with hints of toffee and almond. A sherry-tinged sweetness sits against polished oak, vanilla and spice—cinnamon and clove—leading to a long, warm finish at 46%.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with subtle sherry sweetness lingering alongside dried fruits, cocoa and toasted oak. Spiced warmth carries through, leaving a refined, nutty sweetness and a delicate tannic lift that lingers well after the last sip.
