Glen Scotia 14 Year Tawny Port Finish (2020 Campbeltown Malts Festival)

Single Malt — Campbeltown, Scotland

Reviewed July 14, 2021 (edited July 16, 2021)
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
Nose - brown sugar, salted caramel, strawberry, raisin, vanilla cream, honey, orange zest, baked banana, black pepper, apple, tar, cinnamon, nutmeg, pecan praline, chocolate ganache, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - salted caramel, bananas foster, cinnamon, hay, lemon and orange zest, dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream, honey, subtle peat, strawberry, raisin, tar, chili pepper flavor, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, candied pecan, baked apple, moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium long with salted caramel, strawberry, nutty chocolate, and baking spice flavors. This is the third and final Glen Scotia I’ll be reviewing for now, and it’s another 14 Year cask strength, but finished in Port casks this time. The nose greets you with much of the same Glen Scotia backbone present on the standard 15 Year release, but the Port makes itself known with a jammy strawberry quality. Additionally, the chocolate aroma is darker and there’s a rich, nutty praline note that draws you in deeper. The palate is excellent. It’s liquified, boozy banana split with all the fixins. This is also the first time I picked up on the ginger that others find with Glen Scotia offerings. The strong citrus note is present as well, but it’s much more well integrated than on the 15 Year and 14 Year Rum Cask. It’s inviting and mouthwatering here, not sour and harsh. What a great whisky, and a nice way to end my Glen Scotia tasting miniseries! This Port cask bottling is richly decadent and would be a more apt namesake for Hedonism than the Compass Box release by the same name. It’s delicious and completely changes my mind about what Glen Scotia can offer. A huge thank you to @jonwilkinson7309 for the taste. You were right. I saved the best for last.

    @Ctrexman Yes, it’s a really solid one. There are a few more Glen Scotias on my list to try, but I think I got a pretty good overview of the brand this week.
