I have a hard time here Mark, the Benromach 15 has and continues to be one of my go to whiskies and this expression is just a gem. The Glen Scotia has such a distinct and malt forward spirit, with a haze of funk ( less than its neighbours!!). These are great competitors. I Couldn’t call a winner but want the Benromach to excel! But damn the Scotia is just an amazing dram!!
As always, just a superlative review!! The notes as always of smell and taste are always the very very best on TH-cam!! 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃 thanks Mark!!
I thought you would like this match up! It’s hard to choose here. My choice likely reflects my bias but G&M should step up their game and distance themselves from the big 5 who over proof whisky to 40 or 43.
You’re much too kind my friend.
Cheers Matey🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
Excellent comparison, Mark. I know for a fact (because Glen Scotia distillery released that information in an official tasting video) that Glen Scotia 15 YO is matured for almost 15 years in burbon barrels and then finished for a period of three weeks in first fill oloroso sherry casks. So you were right about there being some sherry influence, I also immediately felt it when I first tried this one. At least that was true for the bottle you reviewed (they have since changed the bottle design so I am not sure about the cask recipe for the new one).
Thanks kindly! Now that makes sense. I see the new bottle according to the website is first fill ex bourbon and re-fill American oak casks - so maybe a little shift!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Fantastic review thank you Mark! That Glenn Scotia is on my radar now! Loch Lomond can't do any wrong lately.
Thanks Will! I am 100% with you. LL is hitting it with nearly every release for both distilleries. They are doing it right.
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
This is a great series and loved the review. I think from your notes, I would prefer the Glen Socia 15 but I bet I would enjoy either. Thanks for sharing and I hope your summer is going well!
Thanks so much Jon! You’ll love these for sure. All is well - same to you my friend
🥃🥃🥃🥃
Two great distilleries. You can't go wrong with whiskies from either.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
The flavor I got with the Glen Scotia was campfire toasted marshmallows. Palate only. I got light chocolate on the nose, with nuts. I scored the Benromach higher. Both have earned a place in my selection, but I doubled up on the Benromach 15 and also packed in two bottles of Benro10, as well. They are both rather hard to find in these parts and Glen Scotia represents the ONLY Campbeltown expression even available here. Here in the wet corner of the Left Coast of North America, Benro15 is pennies above $100 US, and Glen Scotia 15 is $20 cheaper.
Good prices especially for the Glen Scotia!!
Cheers🥃🥃🥃
Good review Mark.Cheers !
Thanks kindly! Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
I've enjoyed a bottle of the Glen Scotia 15. Great bottle for $75 at my store. I have other Benromach bottles at home still to open. Great review.
Great to hear, Keith. $75 is a great price! I’ll take six! 🤣 I’m sure you’re love the Benro.
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Enjoying the Glen Scotia 15 year but love their Victoriana. And only have a Benromach CS that is very good.
Victoriana is a great one. The Benro 100° proof I have - I’ll have to get a new Benro CS! Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
In Australia the Glen Scotia 15 was $105 vs the rebranded Benromach around $150 so it was no question. Although now Glen Scotia has increased to $120 but still a clear winner imo.
Glad i found some dusty 2017 bottles of the Glen Scotia for $60. Good comparison review!
Funny the Benro is so much more expensive. Wow well done finding the oldies! The ones with the coos on them? I have a 21 year - pinky red bottle with a Hielan coo on it.
Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
@@WhiskyWhistle Yeah its weird, I think a local supermarket chain as a deal with Loch Lomond group to bring in their stiff. i.e. Loch lomond 18 is usually around $100 also. Its still the same labels etc just that it was around when Ralfy gave it a 92
That's a comparison I'd like to do myself one day. Very interesting!
Thanks Ray. Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
benromach 15 is just wonderful
Only limited by its strength!
@@WhiskyWhistle I can't understand why they cant bump it to 46..it's just ridiculous already .. I mean they know what the people like, and it's not a whisky for the masses.
Great comparison review Mark and a great 15 year old series you're doing. I have Benromach 10 CS 2008 but don't have their 15 yet. I do have a GS 15 and can't wait to open and try it.
Thanks Rohit much appreciated! Hope to hear how you like the GS 15.
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
@@WhiskyWhistle Hi Mark, Neck pour of GS15 last night was not so great but I suppose it needs some air and time to come to life. I will revisit it in a couple of weeks for a better sense of it's true character. Thanks!
@@WhiskyWhistle GS15 is much better in subsequent pours Mark and it seems to be getting better. GS 15 at the price point it's at at the moment is an excellent value until such point in time when it disappears from local shelves or goes up in price.
Glen Scotia 15y fantastic dram but in this case Benromach is my choice.
Emil - Great to hear your thoughts! Of course I am a little biased though I’m a Benromach fan as well! Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Nice comparison. I've had a bottle of the GS 15 and loved it. I do have other bottles of Benromach and they are fantastic as well. Great review.
Thank you Keith! Now I have to get a new bottle of GS15 now that the packaging has changed. More Benromach coming in the next review! Cheers bud🥃🥃🥃🥃
@@WhiskyWhistle Hopefully the juice in the GS15 hasn't changed along with the packaging. My fear is, sometimes when the packaging changes the juice is not as good. Since there is only 3 distilleries in Campbeltown, Glen Scotia is one of few that still remains old school to its roots.
From what I hear it’s either the same or better! Victoriana for example went up in ABV. Let’s hope it’s true!
@@WhiskyWhistle Good to know
great review! How would you place kilkerran 12 with the glen Scotia 15?
Kilkerran 12 is not far behind! My 2017 WOTY I believe.
@@WhiskyWhistle nice! I'd love a GS 15/Kilkerran 12 back to back!
GS 15 is a bargain and my first choice
Good call Brad! Cheers🥃🥃🥃🥃
Glen Scotia is an easy win for me. It’s one of my favorite drinks cause of that amazing , long and hot spices finish, I prefer it over the lacking Glen Scotia 18, 8,11, and 12, not sure if it beats Victoriana with its gummy bear finish
I quite like GS18 for its subtle nuances but 15 is more punchy for sure!
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Pricing is bizarre. In normally pricey Ontario the GS15 is $91 including taxes.
I’d be buying that 3-4 times a year!!
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Hey Mark...
Can't tell you how envious I am of your Glen Scotia collection! Getting it here in Ontario is nearly impossible.
As for Benromach 15, it lists at nearly $60 more than the Glen Scotia 15 on the LCBO website. With that price difference Glen Scotia wins out, hands down.
Campbeltown is top of my bucket list, should I ever make it back to Scotland. I'll be taking an empty suitcase, and tons of bubble wrap!
Speaking of umami and mushrooms, have you tried the Bearface 01 Matsutake whisky yet? I don't often purchase backup bottles of any whisky, but I must admit to getting a spare of that one...😉
This was an excellent comparison review, thanks!
Cheers 🥃🥃
Marian 🇨🇦
I'm not from Canada so pls forgive me if I write some BS here but can't you order bottles from Alberta?
Thanks Marian! Sorry to make you envious!
Have you thought of ordering from Alberta?
Glad to hear the GS15 is nicely priced.
As for travel destinations, likewise, Campbeltown is high up there for me too.
I haven’t seen that Bearface yet - if I can’t get it here or in AB I’ll grab one if I’m out in Kenora ON. Backup bottles, huh? Wow!
Many thanks for the kind compliment. Was able to whittle this one down to a respectable time as well. Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
Ontario doesn’t officially allow it like Manitoba does but I don’t think they care much anymore. Cheers Ray!
@@Raymaster7482 Hi there! The only BS here is the control of liquor in Ontario. We can order hard liquor from outside of the province within Canada, if it is produced in Canada. Should I wish to get hold of (for example) a particular Scotch whisky, I can bring it in from Scotland through the LCBO with a whopping 25-35% surcharge, but I'd also have to buy a full case. Yet I can't order a bottle of Scotch from an Alberta outlet to be sent here.
We do have an amount allowance to bring liquor in from other provinces if we're traveling, much the same as the U.S. and Canadian borders, but it's a 32 hour drive to Edmonton so I'm unlikely to be doing that...sadly.
I could drive out and see Mark at Whisky Whistle, maybe find some stuff in Winterpeg. That's only a 20-hour drive.
One way.
Might be fun though! 😉
Regardless of all the shenanigans, things could certainly be far worse...
Cheers RM! 🥃
@@onewomanswhisky damn... that really complicates getting Scotch! Is Ontario the most restrictive state regarding liquor laws?
Nah Mark, Benromach will take Glen Scotia to the cleaners any day😉
Haha!! You’d better substantiate your argument otherwise I’m gonna come find you in Denmark!! 😉
Since you mention Loch Lomond, what is your favourite Loch Lomond?
Well the 12 was my 2019 WOTY but I really like a single cask Loch Lomond finished in Negro Barolo wine! Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
@@WhiskyWhistle very cool, are any of the 2 still available by chance?
@@catnapgee5357 try all of their expressions for sure. I'm unrelated to the distillery but I'm a fan of what they are doing. I have original, 12 and 18 and all are great but they have their individual strengths.
a side question, do you know how much is blanton's original is on the secondary these days?
Not sure, maybe $150?? I wonder.
Cheers my friend🥃🥃🥃🥃
@@WhiskyWhistle not bad! cheers!
