Glen Scotia 15 Year Old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70 cl

Product Information

Palate: Sweet, dry, and easy-sipping. Citrus zest, cinnamon and sugar, charred oak, simple table salt and pepper. There is a rather distracting note of grape Nerds candy that pops up in the mix. The finish transitions easily with oak taking the lead with a soft, lingering saltiness. The burn is short and mild, but definitely there. Final Thoughts and Score: It is located in the Campbeltown region, which was once considered the whisky capital of Scotland with 28 distilleries. Nose: Spicy and sweet. Candied ginger, cinnamon, and apricot right away. Charred oak becomes more pronounced after spending a few moments in the glass. Mandarin oranges join with solvent notes to give a bit of a cleaning fluid vibe.

Here, I’ve immersed myself in the art of crafting Mezcal, gaining a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into distilling this ancient spirit. As a brand, Glen Scotia has undergone a rather recent design change. Gone are the distinctive, love-em-or-hate-em opaque bottles which caught the eye but left one wondering if there was indeed any liquid contained within and how much. The 15-Year-Old and NAS (non-age statement) Victoriana offerings reviewed here are presented in more traditional bottles of darkened glass. The 15 in particular shares some general design commonalities with releases by Loch Lomond, which is appropriate as Glen Scotia is a part of the Loch Lomond Group.

This 15-year-old single malt from Campbeltown is the primary release of the current Glen Scotia lineup featuring an age statement. Neither the Victoriana nor Double Cask (not included in this review) bottlings offer age specifics. The 15-Year-Old is aged in American oak casks, and bottled at 46% alcohol by volume, or 92 proof. Springbank 10 and Kilkerran 12 are two of my favorite whiskies with similar tasting notes to the Glen Scotia.

A really fresh onset, mellowed by light vanilla. Then it develops lots of tiny complexities that are often a little less common. Think polished brassware, liquorice, ginger and bitter almond. A subtle iodine tingle as well.

My journey into the world of spirits began as a pub owner, where I cultivated memorable experiences for patrons and nurtured a deep appreciation for fine liquors. Appearance: Yellow straw in color with strong legs and noticeable scotch mist. The labeling confirms Victoriana is non-chill filtered. With Water: The addition of a few drops of water brings a little sweetness in the form of ripe banana and vanilla cake frosting. Water is a pleasant addition with this dram. proof (46% ABV): It has a higher ABV than the average Scotch, but it is well-balanced and doesn’t feel overwhelming. Glen Scotia Victoriana is presented without an age statement. The single malt is aged in deep charred oak barrels selected by Glen Scotia’s master blender for their individual flavor characteristics. Victoriana is non-chill filtered and bottled at a more hefty 51.5% alcohol by volume.
