Glencadam 19 yo 1990/2010 A.D. Rattray

July 21, 2012

Apart from the somewhat sharp nose, this is quite an enjoyable malt, richly flaoured with an interesting note of cheese. – Rating: 85/100

The subtle aromas of this new version of the Glencadam 15 don’t give the palate too much of a challenge, but overall this malt is rather pleasant. – Rating: 81/100.

Glencadam 1991/2006 C&S Dram Collection

March 10, 2010

Nice and well balanced, much more complex than the very pale colour suggests. – Score: 84/100
