Glen Scotia Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750Ml

Amber. Very sweet. Initially it is all creme caramel, caramelized 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. 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. The finish is deep and dark.
