It's the Campbeltown Malts Festival 2020 bottling from Glen Scotia. The peated single malt was distilled in 2006, and was initially matured in first-fill barrels before being transferred to American oak hogshead casks seasoned with tawny Port. Eventually it was bottled at 14 years old at cask strength, weighing in at 52.8% ABV.
Notes of heather honey, a sea breeze and hedgerow berries.
Silky honey returns, with raspberry, peaches and cream, apple crumble and vanilla custard.
Peat smoke lingers, with forest fruits and baking spices.
Simply incredible stuff!!
Fantastic bottling. Give it 30 mins in the glass and enjoy a myriad of flavours.
Ticks every box for me. Really tasty whisky and easily worth the money if you can get hold of it.
This is the drink of the Gods, "nectar", my whisky of 2020 and the best value for money whisky I have ever tried. My message is to Glen Scotia is: please do not stop making such fantastic whisky. I am certain that if you keep the quality they will soon be as popular as Springbank.
The best Glen Scotia I've had to date.
