Glen Scotia Double Cask

Glen Scotia is one of the smallest single malt Scotch whisky distilleries in Scotland but one of the big names in Campbeltown's illustrious past — with a story beginning in the 19th century. Distillery still maintains much of its original design, including the fermenters, stillroom, and dunnage warehouse dating from the 1830s. A sip of a Glen Scotia Scottish malt is a window through time to traditional Campbeltown whisky.

Vibrant fruit emerges first (peach flesh and green apple peels), followed by chewy vanilla fudge, a hint of salinity, then an array of oak-y spices including some char. Opens with more fudge with a little dusting of powdered sugar. Powerful, oily and a touch herbaceous with some German brandy character. Sherried notes come through more on the finish.
