In a region that was once thriving and buzzing with whisky activity, at the end of the previous century Glencadam was rapidly turning into the Last Of The Mohicans. North Port turned into a shopping centre, Glenesk is ancient history, as is Lochside. A bit further up north, even Glenurie Royal was axed during the whisky loch of the 1980s to be converted into flats. Nose: Play-dough or raw yeasty bread dough. Faint vanilla. Grassy. White tea. Even after some time to open up, it’s very light and shy.

Citrus and apples, again that floral element which turns slightly grassy and herbaceous. A mild spiciness translates into soft oak and a shy salty note, making for a dry, medium full body. This then goes into a pleasantly long finish showcasing a nice balance between the fruit and spices, with a soft cereal note at the very end.

I know for a fact that this particular whisky is held in very high regard by some of my esteemed colleagues here at Dramface, so being less than respectful to it is simply not an option – not if I want to avoid the righteous wrath of a hardened Glaswegian or two (are there any other, I wonder?).

Perhaps this no-nonsense approach to whisky making comes from a firm reminder that around 20 years ago, just before the whisky market began to take off again, things weren’t looking too rosy for the eastern Highlands distillery. If we decide not to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms, such decision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Joking aside, Glencadam showcases rather well the rising appeal of single malt scotch whisky in recent times. For years, Glencadam seemed like yet another overlooked distillery – seldom did you see people raving about it, and it never seemed to get much attention among pundits. It was never the centre of attention, nor were their products serviced with big, flashy marketing campaigns.

The distillery’s source water is piped 30 miles from Loch Lee, and is reportedly “very” soft. Perhaps this soft water contributes to the creamy body and light, floral, shy nature of the whisky. Happily for whisky lovers, Glencadam is bottled at 46% ABV with no chill filtration nor added coloring. The 10 year-old is exclusively aged in ex-bourbon barrels (probably refill, judging by the pale color).With Water: A few drops of water opens a little orange-blossom honey on the nose, and adds some kind of citrus to the palate. Seems otherwise not to affect the whisky. A few drops doesn’t hurt, but I wouldn’t try to add more for fear of washing out the already subtle flavors. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. It’s with the community and the Dramface writing team that I'm kept up to date on the latest outturn of expressions or indie bottlings. As much as FOMO can strike us all at any time, there’s hundreds of expressions out there (not limited to scotch) that I won’t be able to sample. Through the sheer time it would take, and what flavours I am chasing at any given time, it’s not sustainable to try everything. But I’ll do my best to taste everything.
