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.

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
