Three New Glen Scotia at Loch Fyne Whiskies – Scotch Whisky News
Glen Scotia Double Cask
Glen Scotia Double Cask is matured in the finest oak barrels and finished in a first fill bourbon barrels followed by Pedro Ximenez sherry casks to produce an outstanding Campbeltown Single Malt that is perfectly balanced. The nose is initially all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars and fudge before apple and peach come through with a charred note of bourbon. The palate is sweet and fat with a tongue tingling buzz, followed by a deep and dark finish.
Glen Scotia 15 Year Old
This Campbeltown Single Malt has been specially selected from casks that deliver the true character of Glen Scotia, spending 15 years maturing in the finest American oak barrels before bottling. The nose offers citrus peels, ginger snaps and apricot developing into dry oaky notes. The palate is weighty and dry with a hint of metallic edge, with water bringing out caramelised elements and oak before a firm and slightly dry finish.
Glen Scotia Victoriana
Each cask of the Victoriana is selected for its rare character and exceptional maturity. This Campbeltown Single Malt is finished in deep charred oak before being bottled straight from the cask without chill-filtration. Subtle wood and vanilla flavours combine with a full bodied spicy fruit aroma to create an exceptionally smooth whisky. The nose has elegant oaky notes with creme brulee, caramelised fruits and polished oak. The palate is sweet and concentrated with blackcurrant jam, subtle wood and vanilla, while the finish is clean and sweet with cocoa characteristics.
