Glen Scotia 10 Year Old unpeated
Nose
When first immersed in the world of Glen Scotia 10 Year Old Unpeated, the senses are met with flavours of vanilla, caramel toffee and a hint of citrus. However, a strange note lurks beneath the surface, a musty presence that slightly dulls the fragrance experience.
Taste
On the palate, Glen Scotia reveals an unexpected range of flavours, from a wet towel and old, soft McDonald's fries to a subtle maritime saltiness. However, despite the variety of flavours, the Scotch lacks the fruitiness one would expect from a whisky of this type. Instead, an unpleasant hint of mustiness lingers in the mouth.
Finish
The finish is disappointing. Barely existent, it leaves only a slight bitterness and a rough texture on the tongue, which reinforces the impression of an unfinished whisky.
Thoughts
The Glen Scotia 10 Year Old Unpeated is a single malt Scotch whisky that surprises with its original and unusual notes, but ultimately cannot fulfil its promises. The small presence of the cask and the almost non-existent finish make it an atypical representative of its kind, which is only partially convincing. Instead, we would go for the Double Cask (a few euros more expensive).
