Glen Scotia 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glen Scotia 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky presents a masterful expression of time and tradition, combining the heritage of Campbeltown with modern craftsmanship. This meticulously aged Scotch undergoes a significant maturation process in refill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, meticulously selected by Glen Scotia's distillers. The whisky is then refined through a six-month finishing period in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, which imparts additional layers of complexity and aroma.

Elegant Maturation Process: This 21-year-old single malt bridges the gap between Glen Scotia’s venerable 18 and 25-year expressions, offering a unique balance of maturity and flavor. The Oloroso sherry finish not only enhances the whisky with perfumed floral notes but also maintains the distillery's signature characteristics of rich fruits and hints of maritime air, reminiscent of Campbeltown’s coastal essence.

Presentation and Design: Encased in Glen Scotia’s distinctive premium bottle, the whisky is showcased in deep purple and gold, symbolizing its royal stature among single malts. A metal coin bearing the intertwined ‘GS’ logo of Glen Scotia adorns the shoulder, emphasizing its prestige. The package, complete in a luxurious display box, makes for an exquisite gift or a collector’s treasure, particularly following the global acclaim received by its elder sibling at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.

Tasting Experience:

Nose: A delightful bouquet of sweet perfumed Oloroso sherry, spiced red apple, and peppercorns meld with a soft, underlying Campbeltown aroma.

Palate: A rich tapestry of flavors unfolds, featuring baked red apples and plump raisins, intertwined with a spice journey of cloves, star anise, and cinnamon. Subtle notes of creamy vanilla, toffee, and a hint of sea spray enhance the complexity.

Finish: The finish is long and superbly balanced, leaving a memorable aftertaste of sea salt and the dryness of sherry.
