- Description
- Glen Scotia's 24-year-old from 1991 matured through bourbon, sherry, and red wine casks, resulting in a complex Campbeltown single malt with layered depth and sophistication. The sequential maturation builds richness from the ex-bourbon base through sherry roundness and wine-cask spice and fruit complexity. The finish is long and composed, with balanced wood influence and coastal character. A collector's expression for those who appreciate Campbeltown's distinctive maritime profile enhanced by progressive cask work.
