Glen Scotia Crosshill, 56.5%

Price: 95 Issue: Summer 2025 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

Initially matured in first-fill bourbon barrels, then finished for 6 months in oloroso casks, and bottled at cask strength. Aromas of honey, peach, sea salt, spring florals, lemon mousse, fresh pineapple, dried apricot, fruit Life Savers, bitter orange, and gentle spice. One of the punchiest Travel Retail exclusives around, with honey, salted caramel, lemon curd, vanilla, candied orange, and seasoned oak flavors, so be generous with the water.
