Glen Scotia 9YO Fino Cask Finish, Campbeltown Whisky Festival, 56.2%

Last year’s release of peated, white port cask really didn’t float my boat in any way. Tried it numerous times and it just never sat with me. That’s okay, though, whisky will always be a dividing thing when it comes to flavour.

This year’s release of a 9YO fino cask finished, unpeated style made me quite excited straight away for a few different reasons:

1 – Loving lower peat/unpeated coastal stuff right now.

2 – Fino sherry is quickly becoming a favourite of mine. It just does unexpected things to every distillate that I’ve been lucky to try it with.

3 – Glen Scotia is excellent across the board.

All of these things together made for a rather easy purchase for me.

Let me know all of your thoughts on this new release, it’ll be an easy sipper for me this summer.
