The Triple Cask Portwood Finish has been created by the careful selection of mature whisky “finished” in three Port pipes.
The malt whisky was transferred from Bourbon casks into the hand-picked Port pipes
to “finish” its maturation for a generous period of time.
This process of “finishing” bestows on the whisky refined characteristics, most notably, tones of fruity Port sweetness.
Just a limited number of 2765 bottles were produced from the three casks and each bottle is individually bottled without chill-filtration or additional colours at 46% ABV and bottled.
Nose: Porty sweetness overlays gentle malty spiciness. Damsons, dates, nuts and raisins
swirl together in a cornucopia of aromas. Hints of the underside of Jaffa cake.
Palate: Lush sweet malt and plummy port dance as one as soft oaky spice joins the party.
Finish: A suffiency of porty-sweetness yields to a spicy fialé
Jim Murray has scored this Glencadam 17 Year Old Triple Cask Portwood Finish Single Malt Whisky 93.5/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible ‘A 17-year-old whisky truffle. A superb late night or after dinner dram, where even the shadowy sulphur cannot spoil its genius.’
