Glen Scotia Double Cask Mini 50ml

Glen Scotia Double Cask is a Campbeltown single malt matured in first-fill bourbon barrels and then finished for 12 months in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, presented here as a 50ml miniature at 46% ABV. The finish adds rich, spicy fruit, toffee and fudge to the distillery's maritime character of sea salt, apple and pear, while proving that at Glen Scotia age is no measure of character. Glen Scotia, established in 1832, is one of only three distilleries still working in Campbeltown, and Double Cask is its suggested starting point for whisky explorers.

Tasting Notes: Toffee, fudge, rich spiced fruit and sea spray.

Nose: Crème caramel and toffee with fruit, wood sugars, charred bourbon oak and a salty sea-spray edge.

Palate: Powerful and oily at mid-weight, the dry distillery character balanced by powdered sugar; water brings out a herbal, minty note.

Finish: Deep and dark, with sherried notes, subtle smoke and gentle spice.

Serve: Neat, or with a splash of water.
