Glen Scotia Single Malt Whisky: Double Cask, 70cl (46% ABV) |Award-Winning Campbeltown Whisky Matured in First-Fill Bourbon, Finished in PX Sherry Casks Rich & Spicy Fruit with Notes of Toffee & Fudge

I'd never even heard of the Campbeltown malt region until a late-night whisky wikipedia wander alerted me to its presence. Apparently the world capital of whisky in the mid-19th century, Campbeltown now only has a fraction of the distilleries that were producing at its height, and Glen Scotia appears to be the largest. Crucially, their Double Cask is the cheapest Campbeltown expression currently available at around £35, and when wading into the unknown, cost is certainly a factor!Although it's geographically situated in the Lowlands, I found this dram to be a lot more like an Island malt - smokiness and spicy maritime character abound, although it's bereft of the full-on iodine/peat thwack of some of my favourite Island malts. Added to this is a distinct fresh woodsy tang from bourbon barrels, and a definite cocoa-y sweetness from the sherry casks too, especially noticeable on the finish. The overall combination is rich, full-bodied, deeply satisfying and generally very well executed. It's a complex and unique dram indeed, but a very approachable one. Don't worry about the lack of age statement - I am by no means an expert, but would guesstimate that this is made from barrels aged for around 8 years, as there's very little of the raw youthful tang of alcohol spirit and wood juice even at 46% ABV. I'll certainly return to this one.

Good value for money. The casks are ex-Bourbon and PX sherry.Fortunately, the PX hasn't been allowed to overpower the other flavours, so you have lovely complexity and a satisfying dram.Good gift for the Whisky lover in your life.

I find this scotch really pleasant, it's also a crowd pleaser. All friends who have tried it, liked it.Honey and vanilla are predominant on the pallette, followed by a slightly spicy and quite brief finish.The scent is also smooth and quite sweet.Overall it's a very smooth dram which I think is very good value for money.I'd like slightly more complexity, but that's just my pallette.I hope you find my review helpful.

What a find this distillery is! If, like me, you're a big fan of Ralfy's you tube channel, you might have noticed that the Glen scotia 15 Yr old got 92 percent, which must be close to the 'best bang for buck' prize on his channel, even after 800+ reviews. Anyway, I bought a bottle of the 15 and really enjoyed it. A top quality 'integrity' (age statement, non chill filtered, natural colour and 46+% abv) bottling. Now, I usually don't enjoy smokey, peaty whiskey's, but the 15 has a hint of this and I still loved it. Thought I'd give this double cask ago. Especially as the master distiller, Iaian McAlister, stated that this was his go-to dram of a Friday evening. And I can see why! Absolutely stonking stuff! Very very smooth, lots of vanilla. Maybe not the longest finish in the world but a fabulous 'every day' dram. You can taste the quality of the casks in every sip. No statement of 'natural colour' so probably some E150 in this, but for less than £35 I absolutely can't complain. One of my absolute faves is Aberlour 12 yr old and I think this might just pip it. Highly, highly recommended

We were trying to tidy up our bar and consolidate our single malts. We landed on this as our "campbeltown". Its very quickly become one of our favourite malts!Nose: vanilla, fruits, light meadowy wood. Pallate: caramel fudge, wild herb and flora.Finish: short, sherry, light spice.By no means a stand out malt, but a very good value, all round appeal, tastes above its price bracket.

Devotee of Glen Scotia 15 year. Took a punt on this non-age stated Double Cask. Delivered on taste and chewy texture. Lovely aroma in the glass afterwards. Great value for money.

Really nice, strong flavour... slightly smokey and slightly woody.Will be buying again. Bought in Scotland once for £40 and loved it, so the fact that I can get it delivered and for cheaper than £40, well worth it for me.

Yes just read the tagline and buy

Ich bin bei Whiskey ein relativer Anfänger. Leider brauchte ich eine Weile, um meinen Geschmack zu finden. Und das ist dieser Whiskey. Das "Double" ist wirklich schmeckbar. er fängt etwas rauchig an und kriegt dann die aromatische Note. Hervorragend!So ein Whiskey, und auch noch zu diesem Preis, ist unschlagbar.

キャンベルタウンモルト特有の塩っ気を感じます。味は滑らかで薫り豊かです。

Hab meine erste Fasche als Geschenk bekommen.Bevor ich anfange irgendwas hier zu schreiben, ich bin kein Experte.Für mich ist ein Whisky gut, wenn er mir schmeckt, also steht hier keinerlei objektive Einschätzung.Er ist mild und gut abgerundet, hat einen leichten Kirsch-Eichen.Geschmack und bereitet selbst nach mehreren Gläsern keine Kopfschmerzen am nächsten Tag.Für mich der beste Whisky in der Preisklasse.

Mein Mann ist begeistert. Schmeckt wohl sehr gut!

sehr lecker, guter preis
