Glen Scotia 15 year old, 46%

Price: 85 Issue: Fall 2015 Reviewer: Gavin Smith Category: Single Malt Scotch

This 15 year old has been fully matured in bourbon casks. Relatively reticent on the nose, with light vanilla. Becoming more aromatic and spicy, with tinned apricots in syrup. Medium-bodied, relatively dry, with ginger, oak, and cloves, before a touch of milk chocolate appears. The chocolate darkens. Aniseed and perpetual spice.
