12-year-old

About

Glencadam's 12-year-old single malt is a refined Highland whisky that proves classic elegance doesn't need to be complicated. Matured in bourbon casks and finished in port wood, this expression delivers a perfect balance between sweet fruitiness and warming spice. With a full, creamy body and natural balance, it's a whisky that speaks for itself without any attempt at flavour engineering. The nose reveals sweet dark fruits, allspice and woodspice, vanilla, and subtle leather undertones. On the palate, a generous and evolving profile emerges—plums, vanilla cream, and chocolate meld with cinnamon and roasted barley notes, creating a complex dram with a satisfying mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming, with a spicy, oaky edge that gradually softens into lingering spice. A splash of water brings out additional layers, making the whisky increasingly oily and revealing hints of rye bread.
