Glen Scotia Campbeltown 1832 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (1000ml)

"One of the best malts using PX casks on the market today." - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022

Good to see higher ABVs arriving in these one litre formats. This one was matured in Bourbon barrels then finished in Pedro Ximénez casks before bottling at 46% abv without chill filtration. Some reviewers notice a fair degree of peat in the profile, others highlight a tropical fruit character. '1832' refers to the region in which the distillery resides, and the year Glen Scotia was founded.

Other reviews... Suet pudding with an extra dose of maple syrup; my word that PX makes its mark early. But, such a rare thing to find, the malt is bought into play early on, thereby arresting the sweetness but allowing a magnificently beautiful duet to be played by the two main characters; balances out beautifully as the spices kick start late. One of the best malts using PX casks on the market today. Elegant and adorable. 92.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2022

...Nose: Gentle, distinctly tropical nose, banana and pineapple. Palate: More of that tropical theme on the palate: dried mango, pineapple and banana flavours, along with some vanilla. Finish: A long, complex, resinous finish. Comment: A real tropical fruit bomb of a whisky. Lots to like and savour here if you like things on the sweeter side. - whiskymag.com
