Glencadam – 15 Year Old Reserva de Jerez Oloroso Cask (70cl, 46%)

A fifteen-year-old Highland single malt whisky from Glencadam, bottled at 46% in a 70cl bottle. After bourbon cask maturation it receives a finish in Oloroso sherry butts from Jerez. The master distiller selected 2007 vintage whiskies from the distillery's historic warehouses; they first matured in ex-bourbon casks of American oak before being married prior to finishing. The edition was introduced in April 2023 and comprises 9,420 individually numbered bottles. It is non-peated, natural colour and non-chill filtered, and is delivered in a tube. The nose shows praline, roasted nuts, light sugar syrup and candied fruit peel. The palate has sweetness reminiscent of pastry with maple syrup and pecans, plus sultanas, milk chocolate, heather honey, nutmeg and oak spice. The warming finish recalls apple strudel and cream tarts, fading to sweet spices and espresso.
