This is the 15 year old single malt Scotch whisky from Glen Scotia in the Campbeltown region, released in 2015 as part of a redesign for their range. The distillers use specially selected American oak casks to age this expression, which compliment the fruit-forward and subtly coastal whisky rather well.
Lots of rich fruit here - apricot jam, satsuma segments and apple pie. Wafts of sea breeze and baking spices develop after a minute.
Vanilla and fruit, with ginger and cinnamon bring a subtle dryness to it.
Quite long with continuing spice.

The person saying Glendiffich 15 is better than this needs to give their head a wobble at best. It shouldn't even be uttered in the same breath as Glen Scotia which is fantastic.
Like drinking velvet. My favorite scotch.
I did a tasting of this aside the Dalmore 15. Lots of similarities, the most important being that neither are actually very good and worth the extra price ove the ever-awesome Glenfiddich 15, which - with the more whiskies I try - makes me wonder if anything will ever get close to it in terms of bang-for-buck. The Glenfiddich is smoother, tastier and better in every conceivable way in a like-for-like basis.
Very nice. Added to my favourite list.
A draum needs a drop of water to bring out its magic. Long finish with cinnamon and spice. This is why you sip scotch.
