Presented in a black and gold gift carton, the Sherry Double Cask Finish has official tasting notes that make mention of cinnamon, vanilla, salted butter, raisins, sultana, nutmeg and subtle spicy notes. Aromas of spiced rum, toffee and plums can also be found in the drink, as well as a nutty and dry finish.
When the Glen Scotia distillery opened in 1832, Campbeltown was known to Victorians as the ‘Whisky Capital of the Scotland’ and was home to more than 30 distilleries. Glen Scotia is one of only three distilleries to remain. The Sherry Double Cask Whisky pays homage to Victorian history and style.
“I’m very proud of The Glen Scotia Sherry Double Cask,” said Glen Scotia Master Distiller, Iain McAlister, in a prepared statement. “This is the first single malt that we’ve produced that uses a combination of two sherry casks, and the results are stunning. This limited edition single malt really showcases our signature Glen Scotia style, and paired with casks that were readily available in the town during the Victorian era truly makes it a whisky made by history.
