Two days late (WI kept this back and published a week later) but have we got something for you lot! Not only have we got the opportunity to shoot in a rather amazing cathedral of booze that is, The Whisky Shop Manchester but we can also take a look at one of their new exclusive from the formidable, Glen Scotia. A single cask expression from a lone ex-bourbon barrel, it packs spice and sweetness with a lovely coating of ashy and sooty peat towards the finish. A huge wave of clementines and orange skin on the nose, creamy almost butterscotch feel to the palate and a bitter and smoky finish that reveals more and more about the slight peat kicking around towards the end. A real stunner and now a proud part of my whisky collection, I mean, it’s Glen Scotia, what can go wrong? Cheers!
