The Glen Scotia 18yo is a distinguished single malt whisky, aged for 18 years and boasting a 46% ABV. This exceptional whisky, bottled in 2022, originates from the esteemed Glen Scotia distillery, one of the three remaining distilleries in Campbeltown. The whisky's maturation process spans 17 years in refill bourbon casks and refill American Oak hogsheads, before a final flourish of 12 months in first fill Oloroso casks, introduced to the market in September 2017.
The Master Blender at Glen Scotia carefully selects the finest casks, resulting in a smooth and rich palate teeming with fruity flavors and thick sweet toffee. Intriguing tasting notes reveal apricots, pineapple, and plump sultanas, underpinned by a gentle warming spice. The whisky's long-lasting finish features spiced raisins and a hint of honeyed nuttiness.
This unpeated whisky presents a floral, aromatic, and elegant profile, enhanced by subtle hints of sea spray and spice. The abundance of sea spray, vanilla toffee, and spiced fruits make it a truly remarkable single malt scotch. Though some reviews suggest that it may lack a bit of richness, its flavor profile is commendable with notes of light peat, chocolate, dried fruits, and a delicate smokiness.
