DOUBLE CASK BORDEAUX RED WINE CASK FINISH

DISTILLERS NOTE

Rich & Fruity

70cl • 46%

Glen Scotia has always been a whisky that balances elegance with rugged charm, and this cask finish highlights both beautifully. It’s got the grace of fruit-forward refinement from the wine casks, but never loses the distillery’s signature edge. Think seaside bonfires, salted caramel, and spice-dusted pastries.

Tasting notes

Nose

Strawberry laces, vanilla, peppery spice, Frazzles, oyster shells, and coffee fudge. There's a tart hint of raspberry, too, as well as a coconut sweetness typical of American oak.

Palate

It's very elegant and pretty thanks to all the red fruit and cakey sweetness, but there's an edge of Glen Scotia maritime muscle keeping things rounded and complex. Strawberry jam, vanilla icing, aromatic baking spices, wine-stained oak, seaweed, salted caramel flapjacks, and black pepper grounds. Like a Victoria Sponge Cake, if it were made by a Greyjoy.

Finish

Beach BBQ, redcurrant, cockles, cinnamon, and caramel.

A welcome evolution of Double Cask.

Glen Scotia has never been one for staying quiet. This small but mighty Campbeltown distillery punches well above its weight, producing bold, balanced, and brilliantly coastal whisky. With a history dating back to 1832, it embodies the maritime soul of Campbeltown.

Now it’s back with a new Double Cask single malt, a Red Wine Cask Finish. It begins with a base of classic Glen Scotia, aged in first-fill bourbon barrels, giving it that signature mix of briny minerality and American oak sweetness. Then comes the twist: a finishing period in Bordeaux red wine casks, layering in rich red fruit, oaky spice, and tannic grip. It’s all seaside soul and vinous vibrancy wrapped up in one neat bottle.

Best of all, it’s available exclusively at Master of Malt for an extended period. Get yours now.

Glen Scotia is one of the big surviving distilleries in Campbeltown, once the "whisky capital of the world." Proudly independent in spirit and coastal in character, Glen Scotia has earned acclaim for its maritime single malts that blend salinity, spice, and fruit in distinctive harmony. The Double Cask series has become a modern classic, and each new finish showcases the distillery’s knack for innovation without losing sight of tradition.
