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.

After reading a review of Glenscotia where the reviewer recommended to try the 15 or the double cask to get a taste of the campbeltown aspects (sea breeze), I picked this one. Quite spicy, fruity & complex with a long finish. Dry fruits. The typical salty seabreeze exists but more elegant. Very elegant and rich (spicy & fruity) whisky.
Tasted with friends during our quarterly whisky night. Rated highly by all, one of the top ones we've had over the past 4 years. Very balanced, with depth and interest. Was a while ago (July), so tasting notes are in the archive. I recommend getting some and trying it for yourselves.
Quite mellow and not too punchy, with a good depth of flavours. I got soft orchard fruit (plums and apricots?), a touch of toffee, some nuttiness, a pleasant, woody spice and last of all, drunk.
A very tasty, rich whisky with a long finish/Really loved it.
