Rum Finish
A very tasty limited edition Glen Scotia, released to celebrate the 2019 Campbeltown Malts Festival. This peated single malt was distilled in 2003, aged initially in refill American oak Bourbon hogsheads and finished in Guyanan rum casks. Finally, it was bottled at cask strength.
Stewed plums, a peppery spicy aroma with some tropical fruits in support.
Sweet citrus peel and caramelised brown sugar, peat smoke and barbecued pineapple with salted caramel and a maritime backbone.
Rum and raisin ice cream, toffee, dried apricot and balanced earthy peat.

The rum finish really is present: loads of dark molasses and stewed pineapple on the nose with a little peat in the background and a tiny hint of something industrial/metallic somewhere (a dead giveaway for Campbeltown for me). On the palate crystallized ginger, more pineapple and smoke. The finish is sugary sweet.
