Article: Glen Scotia Double Cask Finished in Pedro Ximénez Casks
Country: Scotland
Region: Campbeltown
Whisk(e)y type: Scotch Single Malt
Distillery: Glen Scotia
Bottler: Glen Scotia Distillery
Barrel: American oak barrels and following finish for 12 month in Pedro Ximénez casks.
Alcohol: 46%
Colour: Amber.
Flavour: Very sweet. Initially it is all 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 nice dusty dryness. Has some power.
Taste: Sweet start and quite fat and though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz the result is a good mid-palate weight.  The dry distillery character is there still, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements, but adds some dried mint.
Finish: Deep and dark.

Original Tasting Notes.

The distillery Glen Scotia was founded in 1832 and is one of only three remaining original distilleries in the former whisky stronghold Campbeltown. It closed multiple times and since the 8oth it has only produced sporadically. After a renovation the production was then resumed in 2000.
