Glen Scotia 15-Year-Old Single Malt is a scotch that I had not yet tried so it was a new experience for me. I had heard of Glen Scotia and seen it on the store shelves but had not sampled it until now. As I like to do, when Astor Wines had a 15% off sale I buy the whiskies I have not tried that are over 14 years old and/or over $70. And notes to the readers, I self-fund this operation. No free samples for me, not yet at least.
Glen Scotia is distilled in Campbeltown, Scotland which is one of the five whisky producing regions in Scotland. At one time Campbeltown had thirty distilleries but today there is only three. The three distilleries are Glen Scotia, Glengyle, and Springbank. The 15-year-old is bottled at 46% abv and has a great flavor but more importantly has a very good balance and smoothness to go along with the flavor. The taste is light with a medium body and very little burn from the alcohol on the finish.
I enjoyed the Glen Scotia 15-Year-Old neat. In my opinion this particular scotch does not need water or ice but you drink it how you like it. I cannot say much more other than it is very good and well-priced for the age, taste, and price.
Priced around $75 and definitely worth the money for the flavor profile.
