[Good/Very Good] This is the official full proof Glen Scotia 12 Year Old that circulated in the 1980s. From the start, the aroma is rustic and robust with a strong barley note. From deeper notes, orange, nuts, and even a hint of machine oil can be sensed. When drinking, similarly to the aroma, it has a rustic and simple barley note with strong umami. There was a slight bitterness but also a rich sweetness, with a briny quality reminiscent of Campbeltown. The rustic barley finish was not bad. There are hardly any elegant elements such as fruity notes from the cask or maturation, but it was a good Scotia that allows you to enjoy the strength and rustic barley character typical of full proof. #Glen Scotia (GLENSCOTIA)
