Special Features:

A finish in French Bordeaux red-wine casks defines the third release in Glen Scotia’s Double Cask range. The single malt first matures in first-fill bourbon casks, then spends nine months in the red-wine casks. It is bottled at 46%. This unpeated release is not chill-filtered and contains no added colouring.

Bourbon-cask maturation contributes honeyed sweetness, while the Bordeaux finish brings red fruit to the fore. Oak notes and maritime salinity balance the sweetness; subtle tannic spice emerges in the finish.

Tasting Notes:

  • Nose: On the nose, strawberry and redcurrant mingle with gentle honeyed sweetness from the bourbon-cask maturation.
  • Palate: On the palate, ripe red fruit sits alongside smooth oak notes and distinctly maritime salinity.
  • Finish: The long finish leaves a warming sensation and fades with subtle tannic spice.

Distillery/Bottler:

Glen Scotia Distillery makes this single malt in Campbeltown, where the whisky also matures. The brand belongs to the Loch Lomond Group; bottling and labelling take place within the group at a sister distillery near Loch Lomond.

Founded in 1832, the distillery is one of three remaining in Campbeltown. Parts of the original facilities survive at the historic site, including mashing facilities, the still room and traditional dunnage warehouses. Glen Scotia distils slowly in copper pot stills and matures its whiskies on site.
