The Perfect Fifth Glen Scotia 27 Year Old Single Cask Strength | 750ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Playful, teasing smoke offers an unlikely sharpness to the already busy barley.

Palate: Sublime depth to the barley which is at its juiciest and glows as the cocoa notes bring out the best of the light smoke.

Finish: A bitter-sweet finale with the phenols swirling around and spices a-buzzing.

Distillery Information

The distillery, originally named Scotia, was built in 1832 by Stewart, Galbraith & Co who ran it until 1895. In 1919, it was one of the founding members of West Highland Malt Distilleries which brought together six Campbeltown distilleries in an attempt to share costs and stave off potential closure. Five of the six failed, but in 1924 when the axe was falling across Campbeltown, Scotia was purchased by Duncan MacCallum who had founded Glen Nevis. He was forced to close it in 1928, but it reopened in 1930. That year however, MacCallum committed suicide after owing his life savings in a scam (his ghost is said to haunt the distillery) and it was bought by Bloch Bros [see Glengyle, Scapa] which added ‘Glen’ to the name.
