Glen Scotia 2008 Vintage Campbeltown Malts Festival (Scottish Single Malt, 57.8% abv)
Nose: Fruity aromas such as vanilla, grape and apricot are the first scents I've picked up. In addition, there are intense sweet notes that I can call vanilla and chocolate cake. Next comes salt, leather and oak. The harmony of sweet and salty aromas… Even though alcohol makes itself felt, it does not disturb.
Palate: A strong palate with mouthwatering and intensely sweet aromas. Red apples, grapes, lemons and red fruits… Immediately after the sweet aromas, I got a spicy and slightly bitter taste. Behind is burnt oak and very little salt.
Finish: Medium to long, sweet-sour and very slightly sooty.
Comment: The most important feature of this expression for me is that it offers sweet, salty and sooty flavors at the same time. Although sweet flavors (especially on the palate) are a bit more dominant than other flavors, Glen Scotia 2008 Vintage is a balanced, intense and rich expression overall.
