A fantastic dram. Lots of Glen Scotia characteristics! It got better even better with time and a bit of oxidisation.

I have yet try the whisky, but can wholeheartedly recommend the team at Glen Scotia. There was an issue with my order (caused by the carrier), which was dealt with and resolved quickly and efficiently with lots of communication throughout.

Overall: As with pretty much all Glen Scotia expressions, I really like this. It’s quite a contrast to the previous releases and that’s a good thing.
This is an ‘I want a serious whisky tonight’ type of dram, and that’s always a great addition to any whisky cabinet.

Wonderfully packaged and delivered really quickly . Communication and after sales 2nd to none. Not opened as yet so no pic or video but will advise when I do

This is gift, so haven’t tried it! It was requested by the recipient so I have every confidence! But ordering was easy, delivery was fast, packing was excellent and communication plentiful. I will be buying again.

Easy to order, free delivery, what more do you want!
Excellent whisky!
Nose: Huge salinity to start with - salt and seaweed notes. There's some toffee, tropical fruit and a little citrus. Little in the way of smoke - it's very faint. After a few sips of the liquid, the smoke comes through more on the nose - interesting.
Palate: Thick syrupy arrival - loads of chewy salted caramel and dried fruit: sultanas, raisins, figs, dates etc. There's some berries hints here too - blueberry jam? The liquid is very oily, coating the mouth with sweet brown sugar and a little honey. More tropical fruit notes appear, a little dark chocolate and some liquorice before the smoke comes in - not as thick as I'd expected for a mainly heavily peated liquid. There's a big bite of peppery spice, more salinity and a dryness as the liquid disappears. YUMMY!
Finish: Lingering sweetness, gentle smoke, drying salinity and peppery spice.
Overall: As I said at the beginning I'm a Fanboy so you can make your own mind up, this is my first but won't be my last bottle!
Maybe the biggest surprise for me is the peat smoke - I was expecting more, it's faint on the nose, comes through on the palate and lingers on the finish, but it's the Glen Scotia DNA salinity which features most strongly in this dram. Michael and his team have taken what Iain and his team have distilled and matured in ex-bourbon in Campbeltown and re-casked it into PX casks in Alexandria (I assume). The finish hasn't taken over like I think happened with the 2020 Sherry Double Seasonal Release. The salinity, tropical fruit, smoke and PX seem in perfect balance.
There's 24,000 bottles so this isn't going to sell out in a week but at £55 a bottle I'd suggest getting a case fairly soon so you have time to buy another before it all goes!
