We transferred one into a first-fill American oak oloroso hogshead and the other into a second-fill Spanish oak PX hogshead. The casks were then married together before bottling. The nose turned out fresh and fruity – fruit chewing gum, honeydew melon, orange and pear drops, with complicating elements of beeswax, lemongrass and chamomile, plus the promise of sweetness: crème brûlée, banoffee pie, white chocolate and foamy bananas. The palate gave us sherbet lemons, candied nuts and syrupy pears and peaches, with a dry finish of eucalyptus, tobacco, sweet chilli, cinnamon and cassia bark.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"productView-descriptionWrap\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Glencadam\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"banner wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"banner-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"banner-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"banner-content-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"introduction\"\u003eDespite nearing 200 years of existence, Glencadam is only now beginning to emerge as a celebrated single malt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagenav js-fixed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"company-profile__item company-profile__profile\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlencadam’s new make character of flowers and pear drops is a direct result of a distillation regime that maximises reflux – the lyne arms on the stills are angled upwards.
