Glen Scotia 1991 Benchmark (Murray McDavid)

Actually had 27 yr in Scotland

Matured in a sherry hogshead and finished for four years in a French Pinot Noir barrique, this bottle adds a well integrated layer of strawberry to the citrus and malty flavors of the Glen Scotia spirit. Perfectly balanced sweetness. Red wine finishes frequently miss the mark in my experience, but this one is a winner.

Drammers Club online pour. 1/3 25 year glen scotias tried along smws 93.78 like a vintage dessert wine and ob glen scotia 25. 2nd favorite of the 25s just behind SMWS 93.78 “Like A Vintage Dessert Wine”. Doesn’t have much of the glen scotia maritime flavors.
