1990s Scotia Royale 12 Year Old Blended Rare Scotch Whisky 5cl

Scotia Royale 12 yo (40%, OB, +/-1995)

One of the base malts is obviously Glen Scotia.

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Fnely smoky and grassy but lacks the roundness and smoothness that one would expect from a 12yo blend. After ten minutes: a pleasant waxiness, orange zests.

Mouth: Pine resin, bananas, honey and a very pleasant earthiness. There must be quite some good quality malt in there. Very good body.

Finish: long, peaty and slightly medicinal. Cough drops.
