Glencadam 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

Product Description

Opened in 1825, just one year after distilling on a large scale was legalised, the Glencadam Distillery continues to produce its rather delicate Single Malt Scotch Whisky in the same fashion it did in 1825. Glencadam Distillery is located about hald a mile outside the ancient city and Royal Burgh of Brechin in the kingdom of Angus in the eastern Highlands of Scotland. The essential supply of pure water for distilling depends on Glencadam's long-held rights to springs, about hald a mile away in the Unthank Hills. Glencadam has operated two pot stills since the beginning. An unusual feature about the stills is that their lye pipes run upwards at an angle of 15 degrees rather than downwards. The belief is that this helps to produce a particularly delicate and mellow spirit which after maturation yields sweet and fruity notes in the final product. This expression has been bottled at 46% vol to retain the whisky's unique and natural characteristics and subtlety of taste. By not chill-filtering this whisky it ensures that the aromatic components in the whisky are preserved to enhance presence and flavour. No caramel colouring has been added to this single malt so that the naturalness of the whisky from the cask can be enjoyed to the full. TASTING NOTES COLOUR: Straw gold. NOSE: Lively, intense. Grassy freshness and citrus tones with hints of spicy oak. PALATE: Rounded elegance. Clean, crisp citrus tones. A pleasing harmony between a natural sweetness and the soft spicy oak. FINISH: Long and soothing. Rich, clean barley and gristy sweetness.
