Glen Scotia 1992 Cask Strength Gordon & Macphail

Glen Scotia 20 Year Old 1991 Malts of Scotland

This is only my fifth Glen Scotia. My experience with this Campbeltowner are somewhat hit and miss, but it is reassuring to find this is bottled by Malts of Scotland, as they are reknowned for selecting fine casks.

Impressive nose with the typical dirty edges of Glen Scotia on the one hand, but on the other lovely,...
