330 ml bottle, bottled on 14/6/12, hazy blood orange pour. with a decent head and lively carbonation. In the nose the whisky predominates, in the mouth it’s a quich thick and oily texture. There is great balance between bready & caramel malts, with sweetness from the whisky running right through together with orange, grapefruit and pine hop notes giving added flavour. Ends with a smooth bitter finish. Very nice indeed

Bottle that is labelled differently from the non dry hopped BA SCCANS. Almost clear amber beer, good pale cream coloured head. Lovely nose of vanilla wood, mild whisky and tropical fruits. Palate is airy and a little dry. Light creamy malt, quite airy. Mild vanilla wood. Rich whisky but much less dominant than in the regular BA Sccans. Nice orange, mango and other tropical fruits bringing up the rear. Finishes semi dry with a little aniseed and more creamy malt. Love the way Double Sccans has evolved from hop dominant, to BA dominant and now this where there is great balance.
