Glencadam Reserva PX Sherry Cask Finish Small Batch Single Malt
Glencadam Reserva is a richly indulgent small batch single malt Scotch whisky, crafted at the historic Glencadam distillery in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland. Aged in ex-bourbon casks before a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts from Andalucia, it is a whisky of extraordinary depth, sweetness, and complexity that rewards every sip. Why You'll Love It Glencadam is one of Scotland's quieter gems, a distillery that has been producing whisky since 1825 with a focus on quality over noise. The Reserva expression takes their characterful Highland spirit and elevates it through a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts, some of the most flavour-rich casks available to any distiller. The result is a whisky that is lush, warming, and deeply satisfying, with layers of dried fruit, spice, and sweetness that make it one of the most compelling drams at this price point. Distillery & Maturation The whisky is first matured in ex-bourbon casks, which lay down a foundation of vanilla and gentle oak character. It is then transferred to Pedro Ximenez Sherry butts from Andalucia in southern Spain, where the intensely sweet, raisin-rich residue of PX Sherry imparts extraordinary depth, dried fruit complexity, and a warming richness that defines the Reserva style. Bottled in small batches to ensure consistency and quality in every release. Tasting Notes The nose is rich and inviting, with aromas of Christmas pudding, dried figs, dark chocolate, cedar, and clove spice. On the palate, sweet and layered with maple syrup, treacle toffee, and prunes mingling with maraschino cherries and brandy butter. The finish is long, warming, and deeply satisfying, with cinder toffee, fruit cake, and crystallised ginger tailing off into a lingering note of cherry jam. Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of water. Perfect Serve Enjoy neat to appreciate the full richness and complexity of the PX finish, or add a few drops of still water to open up the dried fruit aromas. Also a wonder
Tomatin Cu Bocan Creation #7 Single Malt
Tomatin Cù Bòcan Creation #7 Single Malt is a bold and imaginative Highland whisky that showcases the distillery’s experimental spirit through an intriguing cask combination and lightly peated character. Crafted at the Tomatin Distillery in the Scottish Highlands, this limited edition single malt is matured in a marriage of Pineau des Charentes Rouge casks and virgin oak casks, resulting in a unique flavour profile that balances sweetness, spice and subtle smoke. The use of Pineau des Charentes Rouge—a fortified wine from western France—imparts vibrant fruit notes and a delicate richness, while virgin oak contributes depth and warming spice. On the nose, Cù Bòcan Creation #7 reveals aromas of rhubarb and custard, layered with gentle heather smoke and sweet oak spice. The palate is smooth and expressive, offering a harmonious blend of creamy fruit, soft peat and toasted wood. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of vanilla, spice and a wisp of smoke that adds complexity without overpowering the spirit. Distilled in small batches during winter and made with lightly peated Scottish barley, this single malt reflects Tomatin’s commitment to innovation and quality. Cù Bòcan Creation #7 is a distinctive whisky that appeals to those seeking something unusual yet refined, and is best enjoyed neat to appreciate its full character.
