The Latest Rare Casks From Abbey Whisky
Tasting Notes – Glencadam 22 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 4
Release 4 in the Rare Casks series is a stunning Highland malt from the Glencadam distillery.
Distilled in 1991 and aged in a refill bourbon cask for 22 years, this once mothballed distillery was brought back to life in 2003 and is the only existing distillery in the region of Angus.
96 bottles filled.
Glencadam 22 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 4 |
Nose: Pale straw colour. Woody, toffee fudge, hints of mint.
Palate: Smooth and creamy. Sweet icing sugar tingle on the tongue. Slightly sherried which is a surprise! Finish: Heady shades of powerful long spice n’ pepper. Overall: Not as fiery as I thought it would be. Instead it displays a really nice balance of sweet n’ pepper with a mildly dry finish. The 55% packs a powerful punch! A full-bodied but gentle giant of a dram! |
Tasting Notes – Ben Nevis 16 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 3
The Release 3 in the Rare Casks Series is Ben Nevis from the Highlands of Scotland.
Distilled in 1997 and aged for 16 years in a single sherry hogshead, the whisky has been bottled at natural cask strength without chill filtering or colour additives.
96 bottles filled.
Ben Nevis 16 Year Old / The Rare Casks / Release 3 |
Nose: Intense dark sherry colour. Vanilla, caramel and butterscotch.
Palate: Smooth, sweet and creamy. Fruit cake mixture, stewed fruits and chocolate. Finish: Peppery spice, thick stewed fruit. The spice is long but tapers out nicely. Barely a touch of dryness. Overall: A substantial, robust, muscled dram. As with all these cask strength whiskies, it packs a punch! An amazing mixture of flavours that you would expect from a much older malt. |
