Mad Glance 12 yo 1995/2008 (46%, The Nectar, Daily Dram, 348 bottles, Glencadam) Colour: pale gold. Nose: this is rather fiery and almost a tad spirity at first nosing, with rather big notes of plum spirit and Williams pears and quite some vanilla and oak on top of that. Butterscotch and fresh almonds. The fruitiness grows even bigger then, with some apples, dried longans and dates (somewhat reminding us of a very good arrak). Bottom line: oak matured pear eau de vie – which we like, mind you! (Alsatians distil the best pear spirit in da world, yeah, yeah). Mouth: now we aren’t very far from the official 15yo in style, with a rather big maltiness and notes of roasted nuts and vanilla fudge. Hints of bubblegum behind all that. Also a little coffee, caramel and burnt bread crust. The wood’s spices take part of the control after a moment, which gives one more dimension when compared with the 15yo OB. Finish: long and a little more on oak, even a tad prickly (tannins, pepper.) Comments: a very malty/fruity spirit (as almost often with Glencadam) that was matured in a very active cask it seems. Very good whisky but maybe not a blue chip, but we never had any Glencadam that really blew our socks off… SGP:551 – 84 points.
