Glen Scotia 15 Year

Whiskey house in San Diego. May suffer from being 4th in line tonight. A 3.5 for sure but not a 4. Darker colour but lacks the accompanying flavour.

Thanks to Everwind for a sample! The nose brings floral/herbal notes, sweetness from ginger, honey, vanilla, strawberries, raspberries, and deep tea. Bright and effervescent. 46% ABV, so just a couple drops of water. The palate brings some complex flavors of grapes, cola, savory liver, leather, and maritime salt. The finish is medium in length with a nice mouth coat. There is a Caol Ila type of smoke lingering. This dram is in a class of its own without comparison. The theme should be something equivalent, like "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" by Genesis. 4.25. It really makes me want to find an 18 or higher age statement from them.

Dry, salt/brine, smooth with very round finish, mild smoke - no Ash, Sherry sweet smell with not overpowering sweet taste. Honey on the nose. A profile that is likely to not offend most.
