Double Cask is matured in oak barrels then finished in a combination of first fill bourbon barrels followed by time in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks to produce this distinctive malt whisky that provides the perfect balance of rich spicy fruits, overlaid with the characteristic sea spray and vanilla oak finish for which the house of Glen Scotia is famous.

TASTING NOTES

·Appearance: amber.

·Nose: very sweet. Initially it is all crème caramel, caramelized fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness. Has some power.

·Palate: sweet start and quite fat and though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz the result is a good mid-palate weight.

·Overall: deep and dark.
