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.
As a fan of Glen Scotia I had to try this expression. At the price it clearly doesn't rank amoungst the best expressions I have tasted but look at the price of the Victoriana. The sherry barrel has contributed to quite a complex taste and doesn't dominate. It has fairly good body which pleases me.

Superb dram
I won't go into the wonderful smell and taste which are well essayed on numerous reviews. All I will say is that this a real belter, which I will buy again as soon as the bottle gets low. Absolutely fantastic!

Richly sherried and fruit driven and all the better for knowing that all proceeds will go the very worthwhile cause of Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance.
I bought this as a present then did the tour with my brother at Lindores Abbey distillery in Newburgh Fife.The bottle i bought from Whisky-online was cheaper than at Lindores ,very happy again and a very quick delivery.
