A Highland Heartbeat, Finished with a Portuguese Flair
Welcome to a new chapter in the Glaschu Strathdearn saga — Glaschu Strathdearn (Tomatin) 10: Madeira Wine Finish. This Highland single malt is a testament to the craft of finishing whisky with precision, patience, and a splash of unexpected charm. Born in the soft, rolling hills near Inverness and matured for a decade in traditional oak before being finished in hand-selected Madeira wine casks, this expression is bold, elegant, and deeply indulgent.
Let’s talk flavour. This whisky opens with warm notes of golden sultanas, sun-ripened apricots and candied orange peel. The Madeira casks add a beautiful, velvety richness — think honeyed almonds, toasted oak, and a dash of spicy ginger cake. It’s a sensory journey: the sweetness of the wine, the depth of the malt, the Highland character singing through each sip.
The texture? Silky smooth. The finish? Long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dried fruit and subtle spice. It’s the kind of dram that makes you slow down and pay attention. Not just another 10-year-old — this one’s had a finishing school makeover, and it shows.
Perfect for the curious sipper and the seasoned collector alike, the Glaschu Strathdearn (Tomatin) 10: Madeira Wine Finish is a celebration of what happens when traditional Highland whisky meets the sun-kissed soul of Portuguese Madeira. Limited in release, rich in character — this is a bottle that deserves your top shelf.
