Any day that I can get my hands on a Campbeltown whisky is a good day. Traditionally lighter than its neighbor, Springbank, this Glen Scotia did not disappoint. A very deep, well-balanced dram, it started-off very fresh, full of sea-air, freshly mown lawn, malt, almond extract, and Italian torrone. With a satisfying medium-light body, this whisky was just setting us up for the finish; medium, yet quietly lingering, with an open-air freshness, and the soft sweetness of fresh almonds and light mocha. A delicate, elegant whisky.

The 'other' Campbeltown that isn't nearly as popular as Springbank. This dram does Campbeltown justice. The nose had a wonderful fresh and clean salty feel that reminded me more of the ocean versus the Bay. Very subtle and easy drinking but also had plenty of depth and character. A wonderful dram that I highly recommend for anyone who loves Campbeltown and/or coastal drams.
Nose: Fresh and clean, sea salt, vanilla, fudge, nougat, malty, almond extract
Body: Light to medium
Finish: Starts strong fades away and then comes back, lingering and warming, almonds
Brilliant!
