The nose starts with a mix of charred lemons and limes, burnt hay bales and ocean brine then pipe tobacco along with seaside rock minerality followed by chamomile tea, grapefruit, golden raisins and vanilla custard that transitions to ginger, cloves, leather and polished oak with light ethanol burn. The taste is a medium mouthfeel starting with creamy tropical fruits that then veers towards a mild bitter spice before fading to charred lemons and limes, burning hay bales and ocean brine then dark chocolate covered almonds along with seaside rock minerality followed by chamomile tea, tart apples, golden raisins and vanilla custard that transitions to ginger, cloves, leather and polished oak with light ethanol burn The finish is medium length with soft creamy tropical fruits, sea salt taffy, burnt hay bales, dark chocolate orange, leather and espresso. The nose is fairly bold with a mix of charred citrus, farmyard, ocean brine, rocky minerality, tea and well aged oak that carries over to the taste with the addition of creamy tropical fruits that has a slight off-balance bitterness fading into a very enjoyable finish of creamy fruits, hay and earthy notes. Side by side with the 15, the 16 isn't quite as balanced but has richer and bolder flavors that I think helps it edge out the 15. Another very tasty dram from Glen Scotia and thanks @Richard-ModernDrinking for sharing this one with me.
