Cadenhead’s Tasting Panel

Obeying our long-standing tradition, the Tasting Panel have gathered together to share their thoughts on these new Cadenhead’s whiskies.

Aultmore-Glenlivet 11yo – This Speyside whisky has notes of dark fruits and mixed berries which lead to a slight sweetness throughout. Matured in Bourbon and Palo Cortado casks, it was immediately popular with the panel.

Fettercairn 13yo – Sweet with earthy notes providing real depth. The nose sets the tone for this dram, letting drinkers know what is coming, with the palate featuring a creaminess and the finish delivering a slight spiciness to top it all off.

English Distillery Co. 12yo – The smokiness builds through this entire dram, with the finish giving the panel notes of burnt orange and a smouldering pine forrest. Smooth and syrupy with hints of vanilla.

Auchentoshan 11yo – Matured in Bourbon casks and has sweet, fruity elements from the start. Chewy and very tropical, providing the dram with a vibrant character that the panel enjoyed.

Glentauchers-Glenlivet 10yo – Matured in Oloroso, Manzanilla and Bourbon casks, this is truly an intriguing dram. Dessert notes and hints of dried fruit are present throughout, combining to create a sweet, lovable whisky.

Glen Keith-Glenlivet 22yo – Last, but certainly not least, is this creamy and smooth Glen Keith. Easily drinkable, its velvety nature gives the dram a luxurious mouth feel. The finish also has slight spicy and nutty notes.
