Glencadam 13 Years is a limited edition Highland single malt that highlights the distillery’s elegant, fruity character with added depth and power. Matured in carefully selected first fill ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV, without chill filtration or added colour, it offers a pure and natural expression with a creamy texture and bright fruitiness.
On the nose, it is creamy and inviting, with notes of bread-and-butter pudding, vanilla, sugared almonds and tangy orange marmalade, layered with light malt, floral tones and summery fruits. The palate is rich yet refined, bringing flavours of panna cotta, biscuits and light toffee, yellow and red fruits, citrus peel and gentle baking spices such as nutmeg, along with a subtle nuttiness. The texture is oily and smooth, and the bottling strength gives structure and intensity without ever becoming harsh. The finish is warm, nutty and long, with lingering hints of almond, cocoa, soft oak and a touch of coffee.
This is a whisky for those who enjoy classic, fruit-driven Highland character with a well-balanced mix of sweetness, oak and spice. It makes an excellent evening dram, best served in a tulip glass, with or without a few drops of water, and pairs nicely with hard cheeses or simply enjoyed on its own.
