As I like Springbank a lot I was told to check other Campletown expressions too. So I got another sample of a Glen Scotia. This time an older one. This one is quiet intense and rich. Lots of florals and vanilla. Underneath a syrupy sweetness there is a bid of mineral beach sand and dry grass quality but not as convincing as I was hoping. The palate is as sweet as anticipated. Cherry and chocolate which is really nice. But the finish is what was the most interesting. Like dry tobacco leaves from a good cigar and a mossy wood. Afterwards you get a good bunch of smoke and a buttery bitterness. Not bad at all and indeed interesting but not as smooth as I thought it would be. It definitely has a kick and a noticeable alcoholic burn and a very long lightly bitter finish.
