Description
An official release of Glen Scotia, at 46%. Glen Scotia is a coastal, briny Campbeltown malt, founded in 1832 on the Kintyre peninsula. It is one of only three working distilleries left in Campbeltown, with Springbank and Glengyle.
The spirit was run through the stills and shell and tube condensers on Crosshill Loch water, for an oily spirit with a coastal, salted edge. It was matured in a Pedro Ximenez cask, the wood working into the oily malt. Carrying no age, soft vanillin (vanilla) and a coastal salt suggest a fair spell in cask. The cool, salt laden Campbeltown air gives a slow, coastal maturation in the warehouses. Refill oak lets the salty, oily Glen Scotia character lead the way. A long ferment gives a fruity make that ages with a coastal, oily grace. Maturation in the Campbeltown warehouses, by the sea, lends a coastal edge. It runs a single pair of stills and shell and tube condensers for a slow, oily make.
At an approachable 46% it is soft and coastal. Baked apple, brine and a creamy oil, with raisin, date and treacle from the cask. The mouthfeel is oily, the fruit carried on a briny body. The finish is rounded, salted and oily. This is the oily, salted malt of the Wee Toon.
