"When you speak of whisky capital in Scotland Campbeltown comes to mind. This whisky boasts of ginger, lemon & grapefruit peel, and ripe stone fruits add texture. A cedar-wood spice note with a puff of smoke dries the sweetness out a bit toward the finish. A must have in any whisky drinkers collection."
"I very rarely buy a bottle of whisky twice as I like to taste and experience different whiskies, however there are a handful of exceptions to my rule. This is a whisky that I will be be buying for many years to come. It is complex, it has loads of character and it is just great tasting whisky. I almost can’t just relax and sip this whisky as I’m trying to figure out all the nuances it has to offer. Glen Scotia are producing some fantastic whisky and I can’t recommend this bottle enough!"
"This works so very well. Had it as part of a tasting a while ago and it just - works! Yes the double cask version is amazing but for a few rands more this is just something completely different. I believe the older product is what makes all the difference. And the hint of smoke rounds it off so brilliantly. Heck, even the label makes it look like something else - an experience to be had. Would definitely recommend!"
"The Double Cask is currently on special at 2/3 the price of this but it isn't even in the same league. Imagine drizzling grapefruit zest and treacle on top of a chocolate, Woolies pretzel and eating it while walking along a quiet, Winkelspruit beach. OK, maybe that doesn't sound quite so appetising but this is. Worth it!"
"An enigma of complex and challenging flavors/aromas - Superb, but not for beginners! Nose: Caramel, treacle (molasses) lemon, Old wood, Slight sea air, lemon rind(zest), toffee, dried fruit, cinnamon Palate: Toffee, molasses, citrus zest, dried fruit, oak, sherry, nutmeg"
"This is such a rich and balanced experience. The bourbon casks used in this expression just gives off lovely honey and toffee- like notes with vanilla and fruits. It’s also quite oily with just a touch of smoke to keep it interesting"
"This is a whisky that has a very distinctive flavour profile which is well balanced and presented in a neat package of smell and taste. However, that does not mean that it is simple or two dimensional. Within that distinct and neat little flavour profile package, you will find a range of nuance and variety of experiences to tantalise your nose and taste buds."
"Complex and intriguing dram - full bodied spicy, sweet taste that lingers with the finish"
"great whisky, smooth with hints of citrus, vanilla and cinnamon. A slow sipper to be enjoyed! Worth a try!"
"This is an exceptional whisky that more experienced malt drinkers should really appreciate. Its complex, fusile flavours are unusual, distinctive and enjoyable. Sought this bottling out after seeing a review of it, and was not at all disappointed. Surpasses a lot of other malts at the same price point."
