The Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Cask Finish is an exceptional Campbeltown single malt whisky, known for its rich and exotic flavor profile. This unique expression from the Glen Scotia Distillery in Campbeltown is initially matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and then finished in Guyanese Demerara rum casks for eight months, creating a multifaceted and nuanced taste experience. Bottled in 2022 with an ABV of 46%, this whisky promises a delightful journey for your senses. On the nose, the aromas are vibrant and inviting, with prominent notes of pineapple, mango, sea spray, and burnt sugar. The palate reveals a symphony of flavors, including molasses, cooked sugar, coconut, banana, peach, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a hint of sea salt. Its finish is long and enduring, characterized by oily sea spray, spice, and ripe fruits. This expression pays homage to Campbeltown's storied history of rum casks being imported from across the Atlantic. The additional finishing in Demerara rum barrels imparts a new layer of complexity, introducing exotic flavors such as melted sugar, molasses, and tropical fruit notes. While maintaining the original character traits of caramel and sea spray from the initial maturation in first-fill bourbon casks, the rum cask finish elevates this whisky to a new level of sophistication. Overall, the Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Cask Finish is a distinctive and flavorful whisky, perfect for enthusiasts looking for a complex and aromatic profile that blends tropical fruit, salty, and sweet flavors seamlessly.
This whisky is unique due to its dual maturation process, first in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and then in Guyanese Demerara rum casks, which imparts a rich and exotic flavor profile.
The finishing period in the Demerara rum casks lasts for eight months, adding an extra layer of complexity and exotic flavors to the whisky.
The dominant flavor notes include tropical fruits like pineapple and mango, molasses, burnt sugar, coconut, banana, peach, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and a hint of sea salt.
As a reviewer, I find the Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Cask Finish to be an outstanding whisky that masterfully blends the traditional character of Campbeltown with exotic influences from the Demerara rum cask finish. Its intricate layering of flavors and long-lasting finish make it a memorable dram that stands out in any collection.
