Glen Scotia Icons of Campbeltown 14 year old (Release No. 2), 56.8%

Price: 130 Issue: Winter 2024 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Malt Scotch

This barolo cask-finished release has rich peat smoke and red fruits on the nose, with glacé cherry, milk chocolate, Red Vines, allspice, and scorched earth notes. Baked apple, cherry pie, peppercorn, and clove on the palate, with a finish of damson, dates, and malt. It’s hot and spicy at this proof, but water brings out some classic Glen Scotia salinity, with more peat smoke and heaps of sweet red berries.
