New Release: Glen Scotia 2001-2017 16 Year Old Official Japanese Import System #59 55.6%

Recent Scotias have really shown a variety of faces. Glen Scotia GLENSCOTIA 2001-2017 16yo OB HEAVY PEATED for JAPAN IMPORT SYSTEM #59 55.6% one of 312 bottles The aroma has citrus, green apple, ginger, vanilla, minerals, and smoky peat. When drinking it, the stimulation is surprisingly moderate. The taste has a sweet and sour citrus and green apple flavor similar to the aroma, with strong mineral and salty notes, along with the malt's umami and smoky peat. 【Good/Very Good】 This Glen Scotia 2001, 16-year-old official single cask bottling was bottled for the Japanese Import System (JIS). It has a fruity citrus and green apple aroma, which is quite clean. However, it also strongly conveys mineral and salty notes. Additionally, the malt's umami is present, as indicated by its peaty character. This is a true Campbelltown-style Scotia, and in one word, it feels like the current lighter-bodied Springbank. There are some milky or gin-like expressions, but there's also something like a small-batch Campbelltown malt. Recently, when drinking Scotia, I find myself a bit excited. #GlenScotia (GLENSCOTIA)
