Glen Scotia is distilled in Campbeltown, Scotland which is one of the five whisky producing regions in Scotland. At one time Campbeltown had thirty distilleries but today there is only three remaining. (Glen Scotia, Glengyle, & Springbank)
Glen Scotia – Double Cask is a Campbeltown malt aged in American oak and finished in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. It is bottle at 46% abv which is a little higher than your average scotch. It has a medium body and is smooth with little rich spice notes on the finish. It also has Little dry, red wine sherry thing on the finish.
It has been years since I sampled a Glen Scotia and I forget that is a good whisky. I was impressed with the Double Cask as this is easy drinking whisky with a nice balance. I will be looking to buy a bottle if I see one.
Expressions: Double Rum Cask, Harbor, Double Cask, Victoriana, 15-, 18-, and 25-year-old.
Priced around $70 and worth the money if you like the flavor profile.
