Glen Scotia 12 Year Old Seasonal Release
Glen Scotia
Tasting Notes
This 12-year-old single malt from Glen Scotia Distillery in Campbeltown is a true masterpiece of blended flavors. The whisky's journey begins with a combination of first-fill bourbon and American oak casks for 11 years, imparting a rich, toasted sugar and brown butter flavor. But the real magic happens when it's finished for 12 months in a harmonious blend of first-fill Oloroso sherry hogsheads and heavily charred American oak barrels. This unique combination infuses the whisky with layers of pear, red apple, toffee, and a hint of sea shell salinity on the nose, complemented by notes of orange oil and dried fruit on the palate. The finish is a lingering spiciness of ginger, cinnamon, and oak, leaving a lasting impression on the senses. Bottled at cask strength and presented as part of the Seasonal Release series, this whisky is a must-try for those seeking a complex and well-balanced dram.
