The nose is marked by cereals with clear toffee hints. Not very expressive and on a rather limited flavour palette. Some vanilla on the background.
The mouth is very similar to the nose. Not more complex. Toffee, vanilla and cereals, in a pleasant but not spectacular whole.
The finish prolongs exactly the nose and the mouth. No flaw but no surprise neither.
2007About 30 distilleries were operating in the Campbeltown area not so long ago, and fortunately the area could preserve a limited production for the Glen Scotia distillery. The 14 y.o. version is really an amazing whisky, combining sweetness and spices to a pleasant medicinal aftertaste. Iodine is also a characteristic of the smell of this remarkable single malt. A lovely finish, although a bit too short.

Colour: Bright amber
Nose: Strong maltiness, the alcohol bites the nose a little. Later some smoke and also a strange but very interesting kind of salty sour fruitiness show up. Pickeled onions or cucumbers with dill and mustard seeds.
Taste: On the palate there is still the salt and dill pickles combined with firmly grabbing malt in the beginning, later some very discreet sweeter caramel like notes and dark chocolate.
Finish: More short than long but with interesting smoky accents the pickles now having changed more to something fruity like forest berries.
Conc.: I am very glad to have obtained one bottle of this old bottling maybe two years ago, which is stranger but maybe even more expressive than the newer 12 years old.

2009The nose reveals a strange freshness, with some very discrete orange hints on a malted background.
The expectations created by the first nosing are not really followed in the palate, however, the taste is very pleasant, very fresh with some slightly spiced notes.
The finish is too short, but the whole results in a very nice bottle.
2004A rather expressive nose, with clear and pleasant fruity notes on a barley an sea breeze background with some discrete hints of coffee.
The expectations issued by the nose are not confirmed in the palate; Despite the diversity of tastes and aromas, the announce complexity the nose announced is not really present, and an impression of (good) pear alcohol dominates.
The finish is quite short.
