Glen Scotia, Double Cask, Campbeltown, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (46%)
- Scotch Whisky
Description
Glen Scotia is located in Campbeltown, once known as the “Whisky Capital of the World”. Founded in 1832, this was one of the few distilleries to survive in the modern age. For the Double Cask expression, the team used a combination of bourbon and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, which added excellent complexity and depth.

About this spirit
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
