Elegant simplicity is spot on. I love how Glencadam don't get carried away with cask finishes and gimmicks. Just honest, decent whisky. Great review.

Hi Geoff, good on you for putting up the Ukrainian flag 👍

Nicely coloured top hat! Great review! Keep strong Ukraine.

"Trust me you are not going to be disappointed...unless you are, I don't know you" 😂😂😂 Solid Geoff!!

Got one of these a couple of years ago right after it came back from disappearing after Ralfy made it his Whisky of the year. It is very good but subtle and delicate needing a lot of time in the glass to appreciate what is there. Cheers

Pretty sure, like the 10 its only ex bourbon matured and thats what I like about this. No re-casking, no finishing, just left alone for 15 yrs in ex-bourbon casks, then put out the way a whisky should be, natural, and a profile Glencadam are looking for (if I’m making sense?I love this whisky. Slàinte Geoff for such a positive review.👍

Trying this for the first time, there is something both down-to-earth and cerebral to this whisky. A delicate but detailed dram - like a spider's web. Very many subtle notes accompanies by clear sensations (bitter/sour); interesting stuff that I agree puts one in mind of Craigellachie 13.

Come on folks, Geoff is so close to 3K subs. Great channel, great content. He's concise and to the point, let's see him get to that milestone!

All praise, you must have spent a lot of time as a kid at a candy shop. You reference so many confections. Love it. “I don’t know you” haha These reviews are great! Viewers rejoice. And subscribe! haha Geoff, I love that you’re able to give so much information in a concise video. Adds great value to your channel. Peace.

Great review Geoff. I've tried Glencadam Origin 1825 Bottling. That one is an entry level 40% abv and matured in ex-bourbon and finished in Olorosso. I have been on the fence to get a bottle of 15 while availability is an issue but I may dip my toe into this one based on your review as it sounds promising.

Another great review, it’s a shame a lot of these whiskeys aren’t easily accessible in Australia but I’ll keep an eye out for the 10

you don't disappoint me. 고마워요 제프!

Usually I like mellow, balanced and delicate whisky, but in this case I choose glencadam 10yo.😆 The bright and floral character is my favorite in the 10, and what it gain and loose in the 15yo doesn't that work to me; but yes, it still is a decent whisky.

Thanks for review G! I think Glencadam is one of the great price/performance whisky. Definitely delivers what you need from a quality product

Geoff good reviw ! I liked Glencadam 12 y.o. Cheers !

Thx Jeff for the review! I’m looking for the delivery of that malt tomorrow. Sounds like an awesome dram to me and I guess it will please me at the end of April. Stay safe

Great review man , I love this stuff , it’s just so different from your usual brands ,

Great review as usual. I personally think the 21 is far superior but i really like it as well. As Welsh Toro would say, this is unfortunately the kind of scotch profile that tends to get very scarce nowadays. Balblair 1997 was one of them and the new Tomatin 21 Travel Retail is a great buy as well at 99€ on german websites.

The Riserva Andalucia misstep is a bit of a Glencadam anomaly. The 10, the 15 and the 18 are my favourites. Ive a bottle of the 19 y.o. Oloroso waiting to be uncorked. Hope its nothing like the Riserva. Great review btw.

One of my favorites. I can find it on sale for under $70 from time to time in NYC.

Thanks G Top review as usual 👍 Good as it is was just getting a little tired of the 10 , a bit too light and flowery and whilst no doubt the 15 will have the same vibe , by what you say , slightly bigger and bolder . Sounds good Will give it a try Personally , just at the min I’m off Smokey / peaty whisky and also really big sherry bombs ( Royal Brackla 12 Ooo No 🙈..gave it away , I know you like it 🤣) Very much into middle ground Glenturret 12/15 , Glen Garioch 17 , AcNoc 18 / 24 etc .. taste goes in cycles , as they say , I’ll be back !! But not commented on some recent stuff cos just not floated my current boat Cheers for the brill reviews 👍🥃

Gotta get my hands of this one! Have you tried the 13YO, Reawakening? I think that's a great one.

Awesome review mate & happy new year! Glencadam along with a few others are one of my favourite upcoming distilleries. Have you had the 13 YO? Nearly finished the bottle & oh god, it's awesome. Glencadam have also released a few port cask finish, which I'll have to sus out too. Make sure you pick up the Carn Mor IB Glencadam 10YO, I had that a year ago or so & that absolutely slapped knees. It was bottled around 48% and it does wonders 😀

A great whisky indeed! A bit more tamed than the 10 yo, which is between the firsts of my favorite whiskies despite its age. But the five years more are not wasted!

Definitely picking it up next time I see it.

Not a bad price for a nice 15 year old but I expected something with a little more flavor. Thought it was a bit too light on the pallet I think the Loch Lomond 18 is better on the nose, pallet, presentation and also a cheaper highland whiskey.

Bought recently a bottle of the 17 wich is a portwood.

Thanks for Hat Geoff!

Wait! At least you know me, because I declared myself your nemesis! So let me conclude this silly line of thinking: This one won't be after my fancy, too. But I'm a simple guy, I'll buy, test, report.

Hey man, love your reviews. We frequent Taiwan often and would love to know where we can get a decent selection of bottles. Appreciate it

Great review! So if you are forced to choose between glencadam or arran which way would you sway?

I'm pretty sure this is just ex-bourbon as it is a favourite of my good friend and whisky blogger Reb Mordechai. His religious beliefs prevent him touching sherry influenced whisky. Glencadam actually ran out of the 15 a few years back just before Ralfy selected it as his whisky of the year. That made people chase it for a while but things have settled down for Glencadam. When the 15 was out of circulation they introduced the 13 year which I really recommend you try if you haven't done so. I may even prefer it to the 15. I love ex-bourbon whisky around the 15 year mark and much as I like the 10 I think it's worth paying a little bit more if you can afford it. My one minor criticism of the 15 is the slight bitter oak note on the finish. You don't get that on the 13 or 21. It's still a great whisky though and I never regret buying a bottle. By the way, I like the 'old style' label. It's solid and reassuring like the whisky itself. We don't agree about the 21 which I think is amazing and one of the great value whiskies on the market. However, I love the review and I recently subbed. Cheers. WT

I'm pretty sure Iain Forteath, Glencadam's Global Brand Ambassador, confirmed that the 15 is entirely matured in ex-bourbon barrels when talking to Roy Aqvavitae on a video, but I can't find the actual footage at the moment...

I think the 13 are best in the Glencadam lineup

Have you tried the 13yr old limited edition? Is it as good as the 15?

I finally found this and the 10 at a shop in NY and they apparently don't sell very fast. This makes me happy: specs are on point, price is on point and it's a beautiful whisky. I've stocked up.

Great review Geoff! You didn't mention the 13yr w my store stocks (batch 3). Have you or anyone tried it? Cheers!

this is a great whisky. I wonder why it doesnt score higher on whiskybase

How to find it in the states?

I disagree. There is yellow banana in there not green banana. Green banana has no smell
