Description: Gordon & MacPhail Glen Scotia 21 Year
Spirit: Scotch
Background: Couldn’t find too much information on this one other than it is a 21 year old single malt from Glen Scotia, bottled by Gordon and MacPhail. This was provided by my friend /u/TheAgaveFairy and my notes were taken blind before revealing, so keep that in mind.
Distillery – Glen Scotia
Bottler – Gordon & MachPhail
Brand – The MacPhail’s Collection
Selection – N/A
ABV – 43%

Score: 5
Would I buy a bottle? No
Thoughts: My first taste of a Campbeltown, and there were definitely some interesting notes in there that might be the funk I hear about. This was pretty decent but a little jarring difference between the taste and the finish. I’m excited to try some more offerings from C-town though.
