Glen Scotia 7 yrs - Single Cask

Glen Scotia, Heavily Peated, Single Cask Bottling, O.B., 45%.

Cask no. 525, n.c.f. / n.c.
Bottle 168 of 330.

Color: Applejuice.
Nose: Peaty soil after a rainstorm. Wet rocks in a stream through the highland-wilderness. Black peppers.
Taste: Peppery and hot! Suddenly some nice sweet notes arise... with smoke and again some peat, but less heavy now. Slightly spicy also, aniseed with some nice sweet liquorice.
Aftertaste: Peaty with a very strong and peppery middle, grips and rips but escapes quite quickly... leaving a small film of pepperish peat in your mouth behind. It could have been so much more... but well, I'm not complaining now.
Score: 88.
Remarks: Very good price - quality level.
Bought it for less then 35 euros in The Netherlands.
