Glen Scotia 15 Year Old Whisky

My first foray into this distillery has brought me much pleasure. Smooth and tasteful.

That was the last straw. Bought the 15 way back when Ralfy gave it praise and it was lovely. Every bottle since have been crap imo and now I draw a line. Just awful palate, like drinking a blowtorch.

Subtle malt on the nose without any prickling. The back palate is enriched with dark chocolate cremated cinder toffee and deep ginger, and rather strong on the finish.

Godlike

Absolutely mouth watering, like a peppered steak. It's delectable and spicy at the same time. Pure pepper bomb

Incredible in my opinion, 4 to 5 flavors all marry together almost seamlessly to create a perfect scotch experience. I could swish this around my mouth and it's one of the few scotches I can say that about. While 46% isn't the highest abv imaginable, it's respectable and amazing to me the thicker mouthfeel this has and simply the smoothness in the mouth.

After letting the Double Cask oxidise for a week or so, I started to pick out some interesting flavours beyond the burn, so took a punt on this

Nose is subtle. Bit of malt. Taste is a little simple and bland, with a burn on the finish. I would say Longrow CV has more flavour and interest, and is much cheaper.

Underwhelmed, and for this money, really not imp

Good mouthfeel. Properly alcoholic so has plenty of wallop. Smooth on the nose and in the mouth. Reminds me of Oban 14. Lovely raisins and dates with floral spicing. Thanks to the chap in the whisky shop in Oban for recommending it.

This is an unusual whisky in that it tastes unlike any other bourbon matured whisky that I've tried , its lovely stuff just disappointed that its coloured with e150 , so 4 stars instead of 5 because of that.

I'm enjoying this enormously. While not overly sweet, the depth and complexity of fruit notes on the nose and the palate are huge, and perfectly balanced with dry, spicy oak and beautifully integrated subtle smoke and "maritime" notes. And, much as I can enjoy a good sherry cask dram, I think the lack of any sherry influence here only adds to the uniqueness of this splendid whisky.

At £60-70 a bottle I would consider this outstanding. At the current price it is nothing short of amazing.
