I love both, real traditional single malts. But I think I prefer the 10, is so fresh.

Nice one, Wade! I finally got my hands on the Glencadam 10 last weekend. Very fresh, and I agree with your tasting notes. I find it to be pretty spirit forward, but not in a bad way. They know what they're doing at Glencadam. Pretty great value too. I'll have to hunt down the 15 now. Love the comparison format too. Keep them coming. Cheers from the Northeast US!

Both sensational drams. I only recently did the same comparison recently purely because I was enjoying the 10 so much & wondered how the 15 would compare. A side by side for me revealed why the 15 is another +/-$50-. Is it worth it ? I dont know, but very glad to have them both in my bar.

My Glencadam 10 arrived yesterday... Didn't fall in love with it yet, but I've learned to never judge a dram by your first glass. Far from bad but maybe Iwas expecting a bit too much. Some people said it's better than the Arran 10... I thought that was very far from being the case. but again, I had 1 glass, and to be honest I wasn't even that much in the mood for a dram, I was just anxious to try it.

It’s hard to go into any whisky tasting for the first time without expectations. On top of that our mood when we taste, where we are and who we are with play a part in the experience too. Hopefully the bottle opens up for you well, I believe Glencadam whisky has a lot to offer ☺️🥃

@@McIntyresMalts tried it again yesterday, definitely an improvement. My gripe with it is the alcohol feel is too strong (yet still feels refreshing). I’m glad I got it. It’s a 1 liter bottle, my story with this whisky is far from done 😉. Cheers!
@McIntyresMalts Жыл бұрын
@@canal-do-guga-namura Yes I agree! On the 10 year old the alcohol feel is still very prominent, on the 15 this has mellowed and you are left with more fruitiness which is why I prefer the 15, but both lovely.

Someone recommended the 10 when I said I was looking for a more mature rounded Classic Laddie. Is the 15 it?
@McIntyresMalts5 ай бұрын
The 15 is definitely a more mature and rounded version of the Glencadam 10 but I wouldn’t say that it’s similar to the Classic Laddie at all. The Classic Laddie has way more of a malt forward profile whilst the Glencadam 15 is pears and orchard fruits. If you like the Laddie, you probably will enjoy the Glencadam 15 but they are different flavour profiles.

My 10 is almost done (1liter)... and I have a recently opened Glencadam 15 (and a 13 on the way)... As much as I really enjoy the 10, I think there's no contest here... the 15 is the superior whisky, period. I don't see why anyone would put the 10 above the 15, makes no sense to me (their profile is too similar, so the extra maturation time just improves it). I would only go for the 10 if the 15 is way too expensive.

Couldn’t agree more, it’s only a question of the cost difference between the two, otherwise I’m picking the 15 every time.

I think they're both exclusively ex bourbon barrels. Definitely no hints of virgin oak in both expressions. NGL, Glencadam slaps.

The 15yo is a really great whisky but I haven't had the opertunity to try the 10yo yet, it's not avilable in Sweden for some od reason. But I just got my third bottle of the 13 yo Re-awakening series and I really recommend that on. To me it's a better version than the 15yo, both smell and tastewise.....and the price tag is also better, atleast here in Sweden...$AUD106 for the 13yo and $AUD119 for the 15yo.

I have seen the 13 from time to time, but it's not as easily available as the 15. It must be good if you're onto your third bottle of it! I will keep my eye out for this one, thank you Mats 🥃
