Glen L.A. Double Cask

Score: 63

The Glen L.A. Double Cask sat in that middle‑of‑the‑road space where nothing was particularly wrong, but nothing quite leapt out to demand attention either. Its profile was steady and approachable, with the expected interplay of sweetness and oak from the dual‑cask treatment, yet it never really pushed beyond “pleasant.” In a lineup where other whiskies showed sharper definition or more memorable character, this one simply blended into the background. It was an easy sipper and entirely serviceable, but ultimately it didn’t offer enough distinction to climb higher in the ranking. *Club Notes* "Lovely nose but falls away something awful" "Improved with a dash of water" "This is also a wine cask finish, feeshness on the nose. Palate is sweet, grassy. Finish is not there. It's like a lighter, watered down version of whisky #2."
