Description

A Glen Scotia of a 28 year old chosen by the bottler Blackadder, distilled in 1991, from cask 2031, bottled at 57.8%, one of 216 bottles. Glen Scotia is a salty, oily Campbeltown malt from the west coast of Scotland. Its Victoriana and single cask releases have won the distillery wide acclaim.

The spirit was worked through the stills for an oily, coastal make, for a briny, oily make of salt, citrus and a salted toffee. Finished in an Oloroso cask, the wood building over the oily, coastal spirit. At this evaporative stage ellagitannins lend a drying structure while oxidation builds a richer, briny fruit. Long ageing turns the fresh citrus towards dried fruit, salted toffee and a soft spice. The Glen was added to the Scotia name around 1930, the distillery dating to 1832. Campbeltown, the Wee Toon, once held some thirty distilleries and was the whisky capital of the world.

At a natural 57.8% it is full and oily. An oily, salted sweetness, with dried fruit, fig and walnut from the cask. A baked apple and a sea salt lift it. Citrus, salt and a soft oak see out the finish. This is a salty, oily Campbeltown single malt.
