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.
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.
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.
