Glen Scotia Double Cask
Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46%
Glen Scotia Double Cask is a delightful introduction to the often unfairly-overlooked 'other' Campbeltown distillery, with pleasing notes of sweetness and spices.
Bottled at a palate-friendly 46%, the whisky for Glen Scotia Double Cask started life in American oak before a finishing period in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks to add complexity and depth. At this price you really can't go wrong.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Very sweet. Initially, it is all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time, a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness. Has some power.
Palate: Sweet start and quite fat. Though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz, the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillery character is still there, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements but adds some dried mint.
Finish: Deep and dark, with gentle spice.
