Oh man. Now I’m worried. Was passing through Rosenberg Texas and saw it in a big store called Spec’s. It had a 2015 date code and I had not seen it at my local stores. Picked it up for $50 as I’m often fond of Highland Scotches. Well I hope I find it good.
I'll have to retry the Glencadam 10 again, maybe it was a bad day for the tasting. I can't remember the flavor issues I had at the time. I'd love to hear your thoughts and notes. Cheers!
My recommendation isn't cheap: Signet. But if you get to taste a dram, you might love it. I have a couple of reviews (ua-cam.com/video/6RGCKh2AdNk/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/E_wnqGX84RE/v-deo.html). Cheers!
just a technical comment - you've gotten your audio balance between the music and the reviews to sound about the same level, I no longer have to turn down the music and turn up the review - thanks and cheers!
Thanks for noticing! I increased my mic levels on my camera for the reviews. I was always having to boost them during editing and that was causing artifacts to creep in. Cheers!
Great video. For the past month, I've been enjoying the Glencadam 12 Port Wood which is an outstanding offering from 2015. Unfortunately, this has been replaced in shops with a new Glencadam 17 Port Wood that is much more expensive. One of the "problems" of living in Taiwan is being spoiled for choice and inventory at extremely affrodable prices. The local whisky museum sells the 10, 12, and 15 for under 70USD. I'm always tempted to grab another bottle, but then the Balblair 2000 vintage second release can still be found on the shelf for less than 65USD. It's a burden. ;)
What a trooper you are for shouldering such a burden! ;) My wife and I are planning to move to Italy or Portugal in the next year or two and I'm a bit worried about the availability of some whisky expressions. If we choose Germany, I'm sure the selection would be wonderful. Cheers!
Hello, Nigel! Well, if you consider Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 e-bikes as "motorbikes" then we do those too. I'd be fine if Judy wanted my whisky, but she's more of a wine drinker. ;) Cheers!
Thanks! I agree with the nose, it was wonderful. And I must have liked it enough last year to drink half the bottle. I’ll keep an eye out for your video. Cheers.
No need to be embarrassed... You have tasted so many it is hard to remember them all; this is why I use a tasting tracker spreadsheet that was provided by Aqvavitae.
@@oliverburns1984 That's a tough question to answer, Oliver - I love so many of them. I would say the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban, but that switched from a 12 year to a 14 year a couple years back. The Aberlour A’Bunadh is a sherry bomb favorite of mine and is NAS. For the price, it's hard to beat the Glenfarclas 12. I'm always buying another bottle of that along with their 25 year expression. Cheers!
@@WhiskyRiffs looks like Glencadam is just not you whiskey profile , all whiskeys u mentioned have sherry or port finish . I’d say Glencadam is in the same group as Deanston Virgin oak , Clynelish and AnCnoc light and floral.
@@oliverburns1984 I have owned a Deanston Virgin Oak (maybe I still do?), which is an interesting comparison. Floral isn't one of my go to notes though. Cheers!
This was one was a great surprise. Love it. A pure scotch in every sense. Also I’m lovjng non finished/matured single malta, only ex-bourbon.
Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

Someone recommended this when I said I was looking for a more mature rounded Classic Laddie. Guess this isn’t it haha? Any recommendations?

Thanks for the review, currently on sale in NH so this will be my next bottle
I love it when a whisky is on sale right when I'm looking for it. Cheers!

Hello from the UK. Like your reviews, guitars are good and motorbike to boot; what’s not to enjoy? Perhaps your missus got to the Glencadam 10, first?
Hello, Nigel! Well, if you consider Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 e-bikes as "motorbikes" then we do those too. I'd be fine if Judy wanted my whisky, but she's more of a wine drinker. ;) Cheers!
Hey are really nice. From the 10, 15 , 21, 25. I just love the nose on it. Loads of red apple. I loved doing a review on them all. Nice review. Cheers
Thanks! I agree with the nose, it was wonderful. And I must have liked it enough last year to drink half the bottle. I’ll keep an eye out for your video. Cheers.
@@WhiskyRiffs I just love the fresh notes. Was so use the the sherry bombs. For me it’s like Apple pie. Like you’re music
Thank you for the compliment! If you like apple notes, I always get that on the nose with Green Spot Irish Whiskey.
@@WhiskyRiffs I will get some ASAP.
This is one of the best wishes I’ve had for a long time beautifully made and put together obviously your tastebuds are not liking it.
My issues with the Glencadam 10 might have also been that moment in time. I'll have to dig out that bottle and taste it again. Cheers!
No need to be embarrassed... You have tasted so many it is hard to remember them all; this is why I use a tasting tracker spreadsheet that was provided by Aqvavitae.
I'm just upset that I drank half the bottle and forgot that I did. My excuse is 2020. ;) Cheers!
i bet it was the uptown kat!!
Good bet! Happy New Year!
and a happy new year to you.
I wasn't thrilled by this whisky, I wouldn't buy it again. I also still have half a bottle, It's been sitting in the cabinet for two years.
Sometimes an expression doesn’t sit well with us and that’s okay. Drink what you enjoy. Cheers!
It’s no Arran 10!
That’s very true. 😄

I'll have to taste it again, but it wasn't my favorite Highland Scotch.
@@WhiskyRiffs what’s your favourite Highland Scotch no older then 12 years?
