The Glen Scotia Double Cask is a Campbeltown single malt whisky that showcases a distinctive two-part cask maturation process. This exquisite creation begins its journey in first-fill bourbon barrels, where it imbibes rich vanilla notes from American oak. It is then finished in Pedro-Ximenez-sherry casks, which impart a deep and complex array of spicy fruit flavors. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky with an intriguing complexity that is sure to captivate any connoisseur.
This whisky is presented in a convenient 200ml (20cl) bottle, offering a perfect opportunity to savor its elegance before graduating to a full-sized bottle. Bottled at 46% ABV, it allows the full spectrum of its rich flavors to be appreciated. On the nose, one can detect vibrant fruit aromas accompanied by notes of chewy fudge, caramel, and oak. The palate is greeted with flavors of toffee and spicy fruits, complemented by a slightly herbaceous, oily character. The finish delivers a delightful balance of dry sherry and sweetness, creating a lasting impression.
