Chocolate and peat are vibrant in this delightful malt from one of the three remaining distilleries operating in Campbeltown, which showcases Glen Scotia’s distinguishing coastal character. Smoke teases on the nose, giving way to rich and complex barley. This leads into a juicy palate that proudly displays cocoa notes and light smoke. The finish is rich with phenols and crowned with an abundance of spice.

The Perfect Fifth Description

Upstart bottler The Perfect Fifth is sourcing some truly unusual and rare barrels for their inaugural 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 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."
