- Description
- Glen Scotia's 2000 vintage spent 23 years in a refill American hogshead before bottling at 56.2% ABV for this extremely limited Connoisseurs Choice release (228 bottles). The Campbeltown character emerges through layers of dried fruit, beeswax, and subtle brine, with the extended maturation adding weight and oak integration without overwhelming the distillery's characteristic maritime influence. The texture is full and slightly viscous, with a dry finish that lingers with oak tannins and salted caramel notes. Best appreciated neat or with minimal water, this is a rare window into how one of Scotland's last remaining Campbeltown distilleries ages over two decades.
