The aroma has apricot jam, plum, herbs and spices like clove, a calm strong barley note, toast, nuts, caramel. The taste expands from a smooth mouthfeel with the sweetness of apricot jam, concentrated black tea, lively barley umami, and a moderate oak tannin, giving it a rich, long finish.
[Good/Very Good]
This SCAPA 8 year old high proof was bottled by GM for SESTANTE, and is a product from the 1980s circulation.
The aroma features fruits like apricot jam with spices, and a strong barley note that has mellowed through aging.
The taste is strong and rich, not too complex for a short maturation, but has a tea-like nuance that gives it a good old feel. The intense fruitiness and lively barley umami create a convincing deliciousness.
Old high proof whiskies are quite rare, but compared to watered-down versions, they often retain their rich flavor with less deterioration.
This one lived up to expectations with its strong flavor.
