Glen Scotia is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in the historic whisky-producing region of Campbeltown, located on the Kintyre Peninsula. Our distillery has an illustrious past and rich history, with our story beginning in 1832. Our distillery still maintains much of its original design, including the fermenters, stillhouse and Dunnage Warehouse. Glen Scotia offers a variety of expressions, both peated and unpeated single malts, including core range releases, limited editions and unique single casks. A dram of Glen Scotia single malt is a window through time to a traditional Campbeltown signature whisky.
The Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Cask Finish presents a complex and inviting array of aromas and flavours. On the nose, it offers a blend of soft honey and brown sugar sweetness, complemented by subtle smoky notes and fresh hints of pineapple and apricot. The palate is rich and oily, featuring a fusion of dark caramel and ginger spiciness alongside oak spices and a touch of mint. This transitions into a medium-length finish that leaves lingering tastes of fermented bananas and a salty, spicy aftertaste. This whisky's unique finishing in demerara rum casks adds a distinctive tropical flair, making it a delightful and multifaceted dram that showcases the innovative spirit of Glen Scotia.
Nose:
The aroma is intriguing, blending soft notes of honey and brown sugar with a gentle charred edge, alongside fruity highlights of tinned pineapple and jammy apricots, with just a hint of smoke.
Palate:
The texture is somewhat oily, adding a soft smokiness to the profile that complements slight mineral notes and gentle farmy touches. It is rich in flavours of dark caramel, crushed mint, ginger, and oak spices, rounded out with subtle coconut and apricot nuances.
Finish:
The finish is medium in length, maintaining the richness of the palate with lingering oak spices and a pinch of salt, while hints of fermented bananas add a unique twist.
