Glen Scotia 16 yo 1992/2008 (51.6%, Jack Wieber’s, Auld Distillers, 174 bottles)
From a bourbon barrel. Colour: pale gold. Nose: first there’s a little wood smoke but then it’s ‘the porridgy cavalry’ that turns up, together with notes of fruit spirit (kirsch first). Mid-yeasty, mid-fruity... Improves a bit after a while, with hints of fresh mint and other herbs, and the vanilla showing out. Cleaner now.
With water: now we have big notes of coconut, praline, caramel crème and vanilla like in some grains. It got quite simpler actually, but it’s pleasant whisky. Mouth (neat): very punchy and with much more character than on the nose. Big maltiness, caramel, toffee and roasted peanuts, getting then very salty and liquoricy. Salmiak? Slightly brutal, let’s add water: right, it’s plain wood that comes out first, and then liquorice. Once again, water made it a little simpler. Finish: rather long, with resinous and oily notes now, as well as quite some salt. Comments: not the best swimmer ever but it’s an interesting example of heavy oak influence that doesn’t completely destroy the spirit.
SGP: 372 – 84 points.
