    Another mouthwatering review about this one, apparently worth seeking...Thanks for your detailed review, Alan !

    Sure hope this makes it's way to California soon. A store I shop at got around 150 bottles of the Rum cask so the odds are good. Glen Scotia seems to be a bit overlooked compared to it's neighbor Springbank. Started with the 15 then found some peated cask strength bottles and that was it for me. The Rum cask is $70 us. which is a great value for such a great dram. Cheers Alan

    Just picked up a bottle of this at my local Costco yesterday for $74.99. First time I've seen it anywhere. Was planning to save it for the holidays , but now thinking I should dive in and see if it's worthwhile to get a second bottle before they sell out. Coincidentally, the first time I had the GS 15 y.o. was also a purchase from Costco which had it for $15 less than the going rate in my area.

    Had this at a tasting yesterday. It’s a pretty stunning dram. Spent a lot of time on the nose, which was exceptional. Then the palette surpassed the nose. Wonderful.

    My bottle of Glen Scotia 2020 Festival arrived from Scotland yesterday and I thought I'd try it while re-watching your video. It's a wonderful whisky and I'd agree 100% with your analysis of it. Cheers Alan.

    I love this whisky, I love the Rum finish and the Ruby Port before it. Great notes. The 3 way head to head sounds great. It’s something I’ve considered doing as I’ve got a bit of each left. But for me it’s Rock, Paper, Scissors! Each one has a strength to defeat the others, it will be a tough call. 👍

    I was excited to see this limited release at my local shop. I immediately snatched one up. I waited a week to taste and my god what a fantastic whisky! Of course the shop sold out of them in the first few days. Now my main regret is that I didn't buy four bottles. :)

    Hi Alan, another great review! I’m trying to get a sense of how much peat is in this bottle. I tend to enjoy lower levels of peat like HP 12(before all the Viking changes). Is it close to the HP 12, the Lagavulin 16, or somewhere in the middle? Thanks

      I do my friend although the 18 is great I just have a preference to the tawny port... And also the Ruby port is wonderful... I have just had the new 10 festival 2021 delivered bordeau casks... Not cracked it yet.... Thanks for dropping bye my friend...

  • @Raymaster7482
    @Raymaster7482 4 года назад

    It's a very good whisky but not really at cask strength. I know it's written on the box & backlable of the bottle but during the Summerton Whiskyfestival the GlenScotia distillery manager said that they reduced it a bit (about 5%).
