Glen Scotia / Double Cask
£33.50
Country: Scotland
Region: Campbeltown
Age:
Strength: 46.%
70cl

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Campletown.
Unit: 70cl
ABV: 46%
The Double Cask is matured in their finest oak barrels then finished in a combination of first fill bourbon barrels followed by time in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks to produce this outstanding malt whisky that provides the perfect balance of rich spicy fruits, overlaid with the characteristic sea spray and vanilla oak finish for which the house of Glen Scotia is famous.
NOSE: Amber. Very sweet. Initially it is all creme caramel, caramelised fruit sugars, wood sugar, toffee and fudge before some apple and peach come through. In time a charred note of bourbon with a pleasing dusty dryness. Has some power.
PALATE: Sweet start and quite fat and though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz the result is a good mid-palate weight. The dry distillery character is there still, but there is now depth to counter. Water slightly dismantles the different elements, but adds some dried mint.
FINISH: Deep and dark.
AWARDS: Gold Medal / 2016 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and Gold Award from the 2016 World Whiskies Awards.

Kilkerran / 12 Year Old Single Malt
£49.50

Region: Campbeltown
Age:
Strength: 46.%

Summary: Country/Region: Scotland/Campletown.
Distillery: Glengyle.
Unit: 70cl.
ABV: 46%
Age: 12 Year Old.
The Kilkerran Work in Progress Series was completed with the release of WIP 7 sherry and WIP 7 bourbon in 2015. The current Kilkerran bottling is a 12 year old Kilkerran Single Malt. This is the first core release for Glengyle distillery since it re-opened in 2004 and is available now. It’s been a long wait, 12 years but worth it.
Nose: oak notes are dominant, followed by toasted marshmallows and dried fruit pudding, as well as cherries, marzipan and a hint of peat.
Palate: initially fruity with citrus notes and orange peel, after this: vanilla, butterscotch, honeycomb and digestive biscuits can all be tasted and enjoyed.
Finish: velvet and smooth with lemon meringue, to conclude, there’s an oiliness and a saltiness that you’d expect from a Campbeltown dram.

Pour yourself a dram… as the whisky slips into your glass, observe its rich ruby red colour imparted by oak casks that once nurtured wine from the Hermitage Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée, in the northern Rhône region of France, famed for the Syrah grape.
Lift your glass and take in the AROMA WITHOUT WATER. Swirl your dram around and enjoy those scents of summer… sweet summer fruits, refreshing red apples, and zesty lemon and lime. A touch of vanilla emerges and cinnamon notes develop, underlined by a touch of peat smoke and a peppermint edge.
Now take a sip. The TASTE WITHOUT WATER is sweet and bursting with intense fruit… succulent dark cherry and orange, sharper kiwi and gooseberry… and these combine wonderfully with creamy milk chocolate and a gentle smoky edge.
Now enjoy the AROMA WITH WATER… nose your dram and you may detect lime and grapefruit at first, with hints of delicious toasted malt and sweet vanilla with eucalyptus notes in the background.
Take a sip and savour the TASTE WITH WATER… at first it’s gently spicy, quickly followed by sweet raspberry and tangerine flavours, and hints of almonds complementing the underlying peat smoke edge. The finish is gloriously long and fruity with a hint of smoke.
