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!

I haven't managed to taste it yet as I am waiting for a special occasion. But the bottle was beautifully presented. It has an amazing metal horse topper and the glass bottle feels very strong and is also a beautiful shape. The box came in great condition and was packaged very securely. I was surprised how quickly it was delivered. I'd recommend this whisky and this website to everyone.
