Glencadam 30 year old, 46%

Price: 451 Issue: Winter 2013 Reviewer: Gavin Smith Category: Single Malt Scotch

This is a single cask (#729) bottling, distilled in 1982, and the outturn was just 260 bottles. Soft and supple on the waxy nose, with worn leather, Jaffa oranges, and malt. Lots of leather, with brittle toffee, orange creams, and a slightly musty note on the full palate. Mouth-drying in the lengthy finish, but the tannins never come close to overwhelming.£280
