Food Pairings / Serving Suggestions
The Glen Scotia 15 Year Old is best savoured neat in a tulip glass to appreciate its complexity, but a splash of water will also reveal softer fruit and spice notes. Pair with smoked salmon or shellfish to highlight its maritime character, or enjoy with rich cheeses and dark chocolate to balance its sweetness and oak. It is equally rewarding as a contemplative evening dram or as part of a special celebration.
