Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Cask Finish (46% ABV) is a unique single malt whisky that puts a tropical twist on the classic Campbeltown style. This bottling is first aged for five years in first-fill bourbon casks, then finished for eight months in Guyanese Demerara rum casks, imparting a rich, exotic flavour.

Tasting Notes: Aroma: A sweet, tropical aroma spreads, with nuances of boiled sugar, molasses, and sea breeze.
Fruity elements stand out, including pineapple upside-down cake, banana, apricot jam and coconut.
Mint and a hint of smokiness add accents, while "Campbeltown's signature funkiness" adds earthy, machine-oil complexity.

Taste: Thick and oily texture with flavors of salted honeycomb, vanilla cream, brown sugar syrup, and tropical fruits such as banana and lemon.
Spices such as ginger and cinnamon emerge, along with oak bitterness and a hint of smokiness.
The sweet and salty flavors blend together perfectly, creating a perfect balance that evokes seaside and dessert.

Finish: Medium to long, with oak spice, fermented banana, light wood smoke and grassy earthiness.
Warm spices and seaside saltiness linger, leaving a creamy finish.

Overall: This bottling beautifully combines traditional Campbeltown character with innovative cask finishing. The influence of the rum casks adds exotic sweetness and tropical fruit notes, while still maintaining the distillery's signature complexity. It's non-chill filtered, preserving its natural color, highlighting its craft. While it's slightly more expensive than whiskies in its price range, its limited release status makes it an attractive option for those seeking a unique single malt experience.
