Double Cask is matured in the finest first fill bourbon barrels before being finished for up to twelve months in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks producing this outstanding single 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.
Amber in colour, the nose is initially very sweet, showing creme caramel, caramelised 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. The palate has a sweet start with a little tongue-tingling buzz and good mid-palate weight. Water slightly dismantles the different elements, but adds some dried mint before a deep, dark finish.
