Description
An 8 year old Glen Scotia, a distillery bottling, from 2014, cask 21/698-6, at 56.1%, 278 bottles in all. Glen Scotia is a Campbeltown single malt, one of only three distilleries left in the old whisky capital. Campbeltown, the Wee Toon, once held some thirty distilleries and was the whisky capital of the world.
Made on Crosshill Loch water in the heart of Campbeltown, for an oily spirit with a coastal, salted edge. Maturation came in a Red Wine cask, layered over the briny Glen Scotia make. In these extractive early years the oak gives vanillin as vanilla and oak lactones as coconut over a briny, oily spirit. The Campbeltown style is oily and salted, the cask deepening it over the years. The maritime setting on the Kintyre coast threads salt and brine through the spirit. The slow distillation and shell and tube condensers give the oily Glen Scotia body.
At cask strength 56.1% it is full bodied. Baked apple, brine and a creamy oil, with red berry and a dry spice from the cask. The mouthfeel is oily, the fruit carried on a briny body. The finish is long, oily and salted. This is a salty, oily Campbeltown single malt.
