Glencadam 2008 / 15 Year Old / Madeira Finish Highland Whisky

Ryan Mitchell — Expected more at this price

6/10

I like Glencadam as a distillery but this one felt a bit one-dimensional to me. The Madeira finish gives you the expected dried fruit sweetness but it kind of dominates everything else. At nearly £100 I wanted more layers. Decent enough neat but I probably won't rebuy.

Tariq Hassan — Lovely Madeira influence

8/10

The Madeira cask finish really comes through here — dried fruits, a hint of nuttiness, and this gorgeous dark cherry sweetness on the palate. At 46% it's got enough punch to keep things interesting without being a bruiser. I drink it neat and it's become a regular pour for me.

Jake Morrison — The nose alone is worth it

8/10

Before you even take a sip this thing smells incredible — ripe plums, toffee, a whiff of something floral underneath. The palate follows through with that Madeira sweetness and a dry, oaky finish. Fifteen years has done this one a lot of favours. I keep going back for another nosing.

Elena Morozova — Great after-dinner sipper

8/10

Poured this after a big meal and it was perfect. Sweet dried fruit, a touch of dark chocolate, and warm oak on the finish. The Madeira cask gives it an almost port-like richness without being cloying. Really well balanced at 46%.

Victor Osei — Solid but not spectacular

7/10

It's a well-made Highland single malt with a pleasant Madeira influence — stone fruits, a bit of honey, gentle spice. Nothing wrong with it at all, but for £100 I was hoping to be blown away and I wasn't quite. A couple of drops of water open it up nicely though.
