Glen Scotia reviews

A single cask Glen Scotia – first fill bourbon barrel 465 – that was released as ‘Spring 2019’. Let’s get to work!The nose is a veritable liquid candy! Unrefined sugar. Vanilla like there’s not tomorrow…

I was truly impressed with Glen Scotia’s 2019 festival release, a 15 years old on rum casks. As luck would have it, I also got a sample of the previous year’s festival bottling. This time around, it’s…

I guess every whisky region by now has its own festival right? So, hence also does Campbeltown. This year will be very different, but last year Glen Scotia released this 15 years old malt – at cask…

Let’s dig up an old (well, somewhat) Glen Scotia. It was distilled in 1992 and after 17 years of slumber in a sherry cask, bottled in 2010 by German indie Malts of Scotland. At cask strength, mind you…
