Glen Scotia 12 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Campbeltown region of Scotland. It is matured exclusively in first-fill bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV with natural color and no chill filtration. The whisky sells for around $50.
I love this. It’s a wonderful example of the style and does exactly what it says on the box, for a very attainable price for any sort of whisky drinker. It’s an affordable, tasty style of Campbeltown whisky that seems to be in stock at all good retailers.
Thick arrival. It’s wonderfully oily, given its ABV. I resolve to attempt to get pictures of the thick legs as they tumble down the walls of the copita in slow-mo. A first-fill bourbon character is prevalent and it delivers all those sweet vanilla honey, toffee and fruit notes from the nose very well. But it’s not sickly.
