Glen Scotia Single Malt Scotch Whisky The Perfect Fifth Aged 27 Years
Description: | Bottle 005 of 174, Cask Number 8 Filled 6/01/1992 Bottled 5/09/2019 Single Cask Strength The upstart bottler, The Perfect Fifth, is sourcing some truly unusual and rare barrels for their inugural release. An unexpected addition to the line up of ultra-premium whiskies released by the new bottler, this old malt from the "other" Campbeltown distillery is not to be ignored. Packaged in a unique "wooden barrel case It achieved "Liquid Gold Award" status and 94 points from the preeminent whisky critic, Jim Murray. Here are his impressions, Nose: Playful, teasing smoke offers an unlikely sharpness to the already busy barley. For its big age, this malt is alive and kicking; brilliant! Taste: Sublime depth to the barley which is at its juiciest and glows as the cocoa notes bring out the best of the light smoke. Finish: A bitter-sweet finale with the phenols swirling around and spices a-buzzing. No signs of tiredness at all as the barley still plays a big part while the oak offers both cocoa and a proud skeleton on which all else hangs. Balance: Just adore that chocolate and light peat mix. |
