Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Finish

Glen Scotia is renowned for its robust and maritime character, but with the Double Cask Rum Finish, the distillery introduces a delightful tropical influence. Initially matured in first-fill bourbon casks, this whisky is then finished in carefully selected rum casks, adding layers of sweetness and spice to the traditional Campbeltown profile. A whisky that appeals to both classic single malt lovers and adventurous spirits.

Tasting note

Nose

Sweet aromas of honey and vanilla set the stage, followed by tropical fruit notes of pineapple and ripe mango. Hints of caramelized sugar and light spices from the rum casks add extra depth. In the background, a subtle maritime freshness lingers.

Taste

Creamy and full-bodied with a beautiful balance of sweetness and spice. Butterscotch and brown sugar blend seamlessly with hints of coconut, banana, and dried fruits. The rum cask influence introduces a mild peppery kick and delicate oak notes, adding complexity and layers to the whisky.

Finish

Long and warming with lingering notes of toffee, spiced oak, and a gentle hint of salinity. The sweetness from the rum casks remains subtle, leaving a delightful and exotic aftertaste.

Glen Scotia Distillery

Glen Scotia Distillery is located in Campbeltown, on Scotland's Kintyre Peninsula, a region with a rich whisky history. Founded in 1832, Glen Scotia is one of the few remaining distilleries in this once thriving whisky region. The distillery has gone through several ownership changes and periods of closure, but remains an important name in the Scotch whisky world.

A specific feature of Glen Scotia is its combination of traditional and modern production methods. The distillery produces a wide range of whiskies, from light and elegant to rich and smoky. Glen Scotia is known for its complex flavour profiles, often characterised by maritime influences such as saltiness, combined with notes of fruit, vanilla and spices.

The whiskies are matured in various cask types, including bourbon and sherry casks, which contributes to the depth and complexity of the flavours. Glen Scotia's unique location and rich history make it a fascinating distillery, continuing the tradition and innovation of Campbeltown whiskies.
