DESCRIPTION

Our 2nd official single cask release from the Glen Scotia distillery in Campbeltown. Produced from unpeated spirit distilled on 17 November 2016, matured in a first-fill bourbon barrel before being finished in a first-fill tawny port hogshead for 14 months, and bottled on 19 November 2024. Only 202 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured, and bottled at a cask strength of 56.4%.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Juicy summer berries, beachside flowers and blackcurrant cordial, balanced with orange peel and sweet clove. Soft and enticing. 

Palate:  Red liquorice and sweet ginger syrup with salted caramel and strawberries. Well composed with the cask strength not evident allowing the softer elements to find balance. 

Finish: Builds with oak spice, tropical fruitiness, candied ginger and spiced baked orange. Long and lingering with a soft and sweet spice.

Whisky of the year?!

"What a cask pick! Although I expect nothing less from WB. I know it’s only June, but for me this is already the strongest contender for whisky of the year. Nosing this took me straight back to smelling whisky straight from the cask in a dunnage in Scotland. Beyond rich and juicy on the palate with loads of blackcurrant and dark fruit thanks to the Port cask influence. That sea salt Scotia DNA sits quietly in the background, and wonderfully integrated, warming abv ties it all up nicely on the finish. Beyond superb! Already ordered my second bottle and definitely see myself ordering more!"
