The Glen Scotia 2012 Limited Edition is a remarkable 7-year-old single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the historic Campbeltown region of Scotland. Distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2020, this exquisite whisky has been matured in first-fill bourbon barrel #715 and bottled at a cask strength of 56.8% ABV, exclusively for Kirsch Import. With only 229 bottles produced, this limited edition release exemplifies the craftsmanship and tradition of the Glen Scotia distillery. On the nose, this whisky starts with classic 'Scotia' maritime notes of sea salt and beach, evolving into a cleaner scent profile over time. You will experience a symphony of aromas including pine, citrus fruits, herbs, star anise, and a hint of smoked fish and meat. The palate is equally complex and robust, presenting herbal, slightly bitter, and earthy flavors that are beautifully balanced by a rich and creamy texture imparted by the first-fill bourbon barrels. The finish is warm and long, with lingering notes of citrus, herbs, and a touch of bittersweet licorice. Despite its relatively short aging period, the Glen Scotia 2012 Limited Edition packs a punch in terms of flavor and complexity. It is a whisky that demands respect, making it more suitable for experienced drinkers. Campbeltown, once a thriving whisky-producing region, now boasts only a few active distilleries. This limited edition release is a testament to the high-quality whisky still being produced in this storied region. FAQs
