TASTING NOTES - GLEN SCOTIA 21YO

Nose

An excellent mix of elegance and decadence. From one side you can find the weird notes of Campbeltown (and of Glen Scotia), with brass, egg and a fatty ham organic and sapid side. On the contrary, it is perfumed and decadent, with a port-style kind of Oloroso which is providing highly processed, thick jam red berries sensation. Not truly nutty, so the Oloroso is really first-fill and fruity.

Palate

Again sapid, even though this time the sensation is more on the sea spray, but more organic, as there is a buff of peat added, coming from very freshly collected peat. It is again rich and intense, evocative and sensual. The port-like sensations are here even stronger.

Finish

Long, very long, intense and rich, with a more persistent smoked ham sensation

Glen Scotia 21yo is a great product, quite complex. A nice duet of highly sophisticated red berries fruity aromas in thick jam and a funky Campbeltown spirit, which is organic and slightly peated. A true journey.
