Hot. Hamse got off to a good start. Idiosyncratic. Interesting. Fat. After the not bad - but very "cozy" - last "cattle" range a very positive surprise.

Nose

wow - the smell has its own, fascinating, smoky-spicy, but not in the Scottish way, rather in the Glen-Els-Alrik direction, plus salt and some Maggi, roasted and salted peanuts ... Tip: no water, before you get rich

Taste

and again wow - very intense and full-bodied, oily, the flavors are found 1: 1 in the taste again, to dark chocolate, sugar beet syrup, you want my charcoal (or burnt bread roll) ... heavy, dark ...

Finish

long, bittersweet, sticky, a pinch of pepper

So to get right to the point. This whisky is independent and special. But the 15 convinced me so much, I can't forget it. That's why this is not a NAS that I would buy.

Nose

Some tobacco and nutty sherry. Steamed peaches. He needs time and some water. Then there are bananas, dark sugar with vanilla. Behind it some fresh mint on lemon peel. Roasted aromas with a minimal smokiness.

Taste

The banana is now overripe in the leather saddle. There are also orange peel with a slight tobacco note. Roasted peppery aromas come through. Behind that, sugar-sweet vanilla. Not badly decided when choosing a barrel. A hint of tobacco comes through.

Finish

It ends in the middle with citrus fruits and a compote of dark chocolate and roasted nuts. Slightly bitter oak, but immediately fraternized with a little caramelized sugar. Absolutely ok.

Nose

I immediately like the elegant nose: burnt caramel crust of crème brûlée, vanilla, ripe (light) fruits and subtle oak notes are immediately present. The alcohol (51.5%) is initially noticeable by a slight cooling, which disappears after a few minutes. The beautiful aroma, peppered with many sweet fruit notes, strong roasted aromas and light smoke, reveals many more associations over time. Peaches, red fruits, bananas, marzipan, roasted peanuts / cashews, malt, burnt crust of bread, mineral notes (salt) and delicate smoke (reminds me of sweet cigar smoke) follow. Exciting and multifaceted!

Taste

The Glen Scotia starts powerful and pleasantly oily. Freshly ground pepper prances briefly on the tip of the tongue and causes a slight tingle. The taste is almost an image of the nose crystallized out. Strong roasted aromas (coffee, peanuts and creme brulee), plenty of vanilla / caramel, sweet fruits, orange peel, dark chocolate, marzipan, spicy oak notes and charcoal / light smoke are dominant. The alcohol is very well integrated, so I do without the addition of a few drops of water. The relatively strong contrast between sweet fruit notes and strong roasted aromas blends into a harmonious and not everyday taste experience.

Finish

Medium to long, sweet and spicy and slightly smoky. The sweet fruit notes flash again before the heavy aromas dominate the finish. Strong roasted aromas, orange peel, plenty of dark chocolate, spicy oak notes and light smoke make the malt cease slowly and warming. A delicate bitterness remains on the palate.

It's always surprising what Glen Scotia is capable of bottling. A distillery that is (wrongly) underestimated everywhere.

Nose

88 88

Mineral and salty, fresh cookie dough, malt, fresh yeast, lemon cake - it has Campbeltown DNA, and yet it is very different from the colleagues over there. Wet wood, salt lick, multivitamin effervescent tablets.

Taste

88 88

Fatty, creamy and oily starter, mineral, salty, lemony. The effervescent tablets, still in the multivitamin flavor. Lays on the tongue for a long time, spreads out, later delivers nice, intense chocolate notes.

Finish

87 87

Medium to long, sweet and fruity, at the same time salty, lots of chocolate, lemon ice cream.

Nose: wow, this reeks of freshly picked green apples. Apple crumble, grapefruits and a dash of pinot grigio. Very juicy nose. With air and a few drops of water, it gets saltier and more maritime. Mint, bay leaves, marzipan, salted and roasted cashew nuts and shoe polish. Maybe a few soapy off notes in the background, that remind me of hair shampoo. Nothing too extreme, rather interesting and characterful.

Taste: pink grapefruits sprinkled with seasalt. Dry and mineral white wine. Crushed green garden herbs. Mint. Drops of soysauce. A nice, subtle bitterness that adds depth and maturity. Its not overly complex, but super delicious.

Finish: Herbal and minty with a nice lingering bitterness.

Very impressed. What a characterful bottling from this underrated and understated campelltown destillery. /89

Nose

85 85

On the nose it seems quite sweet, a bit floral, a lot of raisins, sultanas, plums and fresh fruits. But the fruity character stands out with peaches, mango, melons....

Taste

86 86

On the taste side, it is sour.... quite different from what the nose promised, with a lot of spices, tropical fruits, brine and again spices like nutmeg and clove. It has a nice mouth coating.

Glen Scotia Victoriana, 51.5% alc. Original bottling (2015). Expansion: Bourbon barrels, "charred oak casks"

Nose: Apple pie with cinnamon and burnt oatmeal, some malt and a little caramel. There is also strawberry yoghurt and salted peanuts, as well as a little marzipan, tobacco and shoe polish.

Palate: Strong and pleasantly spicy, slightly tingling. Again the porridge, with fresh caramel and some coffee. Warm apple strudel with vanilla sauce. I also find a pleasantly tangy lemon sweetness and some chocolate milk here.

Finish: Long and very dry, again a lot of caramel and some oak. Cinnamon, blackberry jam, citrus fruits and a hint of menthol.

Conclusion: Glen Scotia in cask strength. Not a whisky for beginners, but a really good one! 86/100 points (2021)
