Glen Scotia Double Cask whisky is a superb introduction to the Glen Scotia range for whisky explorers. With tastes of toffee and fudge, it’s a perfect demonstration that at Glen Scotia, age is no indication of character.

Matured in first fill bourbon barrels before being finished for 12 months in PX sherry casks, this expression provides an intriguing harmony or rich and spicy fruit flavours, as well as distinctly Campbeltown notes.

Double Cask is perhaps the perfect embodiment of the Campbeltown spirit, where very different personalities and styles come together in perfect unity to create something exceptional.
