Description

One of the last remaining distilleries from Campbeltown's glory days as 'whisky capital of the world', Glen Scotia's versatility made it extremely useful to blenders; a factor that undoubtedly played a part in its survival of the 1920s cull. That might imply that the life of the small distillery has all been smooth sailing, however the truth is anything but. Glen Scotia has traded hands frequently. Glen Scotia Double Cask is a superb introduction to the Glen Scotia range, matured in first fill bourbon barrels before being finished for 12 months in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, providing an intriguing harmony of rich and spicy fruit flavours, as well as distinctly Campbeltown notes.

The sea-spray nose and gentle saltiness give this Campbeltown malt a clear coastal thread, while caramel, toffee and dried fruit bring a richer, sweeter counterpoint. I like that neither side seems to crowd out the other in the notes. The finish sounds especially appealing: dry, medium-long and carrying a bittersweet maritime saltiness alongside dark fruit and oak spice. A measured, warmly inviting character.

At 46%, this sits at a clear, substantial strength without needing any claims about alcohol heat. The toffee and baked apple give it an inviting sweetness, while the dry, maritime finish adds a welcome counterpoint.
