Review of
Glen Scotia Double Cask which has been
finish for 12 months in Pedro Ximenez
sherry casks making for a big intense
sherried dram.
 Glen
Scotia Double Cask is the distillery's
entry level dram and a great
introduction to the Glen Scotia whisky
range, it has been matured in first fill
American bourbon barrels before being
finished for 12 months in Pedro Ximenez
sherry casks, a rich and spicy dram, as
well as distinctly Campbeltown notes.
Bottled non-chill filtered at 46% ABV.

Morrison's
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Malt
and oak merge with a sweet vanilla
toffee,
honey, red berry and rich dark fruity
sherried sweetness, a touch of dark
chocolate keeps the sugars in place.
Taste: Burnt toffee sugars with a
big sherried
fruity edge fills every corner of the
mouth, some sweet oak spice adds to the
pleasure.
Finish: Long,
the intense sherried fruit (apricot, raisin,
dates and plum) continues boosted by the
sugars but it is then quickly overtaken by
the now slightly bittering oak spice
which keeps it in place. Ends with
drying oak.
Comment:
A very promising dram that you could
nose all day, and just as I expected on
the palate for a young whisky which has
spent 12 months in a PX cask, a big
intense sherried dram.
