The palate included jaffa cakes, fruit pastilles, peach yoghurt, custard apple and honey, with a mouth-tingling finish of citrus peel, exotic fruit skins and a nuance of nutmeg. The reduced nose was sunny and pleasant – elderflower and yellow fruits, sherbet lemons in a paper bag and mead sprinkled over sawdust. The palate was sweet and syrupy, with some tartness – rhubarb rock, plum or apricot clafoutis, refreshers and cloudy lemonade; the finish was a summer sunset of remembered warmth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\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.
