Description
Glen Scotia 12 Year Old Amontillado Sherry Cask Finish is a distinguished seasonal release from Glen Scotia Distillery, located in the Campbeltown region of Scotland. Glen Scotia, established in 1832, is one of the few remaining distilleries in this once-bustling whisky hub. Known for its distinctive and robust expressions, Glen Scotia has a rich history marked by both challenges and triumphs, including periods of closure and revival.
This particular release undergoes a unique maturation process, beginning with 12 years in traditional oak casks before being finished in Amontillado sherry casks. This finishing process imparts a distinctive character to the whisky, blending Glen Scotias signature maritime notes with the complex sweetness of Amontillado sherry.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A rich bouquet of dried fruit, nuts, and a hint of sherry spice, mingling with Glen Scotias characteristic briny and smoky undertones.
- Palate: A luxurious mix of toffee, caramelized apple, and dark chocolate, with subtle notes of toasted oak and a gentle sherry influence.
- Finish: Smooth and lingering, with a delightful echo of spiced fruit and a touch of sea salt.
This seasonal release showcases Glen Scotia’s ability to blend tradition with innovation, offering a unique tasting experience with each bottle.
