First-fill bourbon casks

Our first impression was "whoa, that's got the Campbeltown Funk!" Salty, strong, delicious. Take your time with this one, there's a lot to discover. . . . #glenscotia #campbeltown #briny #pedroximenez #campbeltownfunk #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #whiskey #aquavitae #uiscebeatha #uisgebeatha #whiskyaesthetic #womenwhowhiskey (at Westfir, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byfx2wpnbOX/?igshid=spr1gyszs1kc

Hey guys. How's it going? So I told you yesterday that my good friend @whiskypeater sent me, from the goodness of his heart, a couple of samples. Just to be clear, these are whisky samples 😄 I decided to start off with the Glen Scotia. This is the 2008 Ruby Port Finish expression. Here is my review: Nose: Right off the bat I get a subtle hint of smoke, after I can feel notes of nuts, chocolate, vanilla and forest fruit. Palate: The smoke is more proeminent then on the nose. Vanilla again with chocolate and berries(maybe, it's very subtle). Finish: Long and dry. It's a bit sweet and I can feel some blackberries shrouded in burnt oak wood. It's an interesting whisky, a bit on the peated side, not too strong though. I would say it's a good Campbeltown scotch 👌🏻 Thank you Peter for a really nice sample. More follows so stay tuned 😉. Of course I had to include a good stick here to finish things off 😉. Cheers guys and happy whisky Wednesday 😉🥃✨🥃. . #glenscotia #rubyport #portcask #scottishwhisky #whisky #whiskey #scotch #shotoniphone #shotonsony #instagood #firewaterxo #scotchwhisky #instawhisky #instascotch #whiskyporn #whiskygram #whiskybar #whiskylover #bottle #drinks #whiskylove #apple #cluj #romania #godiva #godivachocolate #cigar #montecristo https://www.instagram.com/p/BpUk8HZAMgj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3mny2w842yez

Enjoyed this #GlenScotia Port matured dram. Port was subtle if detectable, #Campbeltown was in abundance.

Cask type: Refill bourbon casks (24 years), first-fill bourbon casks (1 year)

The texture is rather light. Ripe peaches and apples dominate the palate, followed by creamy vanilla pudding and toffee. The finish reveals a subtle peat smoke paired with a maritime salt note.

Glen Scotia whiskies are known for their complexity and characteristic maritime notes, which make them very different from whiskies from other regions. The proximity to the sea and the typical Campbeltown climate with its salty, often harsh air characterise the taste. Typical flavours of Glen Scotia include salty notes, peaty hints (depending on the bottling) and fruity, but also spicy elements.

54.3% alc./vol. Not chill-filtered Cask type: First-fill bourbon barrels, finished in Ribera del Duero red wine barrels
