I love Campbeltown whiskies, or rather I love Springbank, which is the only Campbeltown distillery I’ve experienced. Let’s see what the rest of the region has to offer. Right off the bat, I know I won’t like this as much as its 15 year old Springbank counterpart. The nose hits with salted caramel, chocolate, honey, and a double dose of citrus. The palate holds some toasted banana, a nontrivial amount of graininess, sour apple, and more of those strong citrus notes. This is good whisky, but it’s not great whisky. There are some nice aromas and flavors, but for 15 years old, there’s more grain character than I’d like and it’s generally too sour to deserve a higher rating from me. I look forward to tasting different Glen Scotia expressions, but I won’t be buying another bottle of this at the $100 I paid. However, it appears that this can be had for cheaper, so at $70 it may be worth pulling the trigger.
