GlEN SCOTIA CAMPBELTOWN SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKYÂ
Glen Scotia single malts are excellent examples of the Campbeltown style, with rich and subtly maritime, with tropical and baked fruit notes and salty finish that set them apart from other Scotch malts. Distilled and aged to perfection, a single malt from our collection is the perfect late-night sip or gift for any whisky lover.
The Icons of Campbeltown series pays tribute to the Campbeltown community that ensured Glen Scotia prevailed through history. Taking our inspiration from the Campbeltown Market Cross â a historic community meeting point for celebration and storytelling, with a series of saints and beasts carved into its stone face â each release recalls a tale of local community spirit.
Release No.2 takes inspiration from St Michael, backed by an army of supporters, slaying a fire breathing dragon. Ravenous fires were something of a theme in Campbeltownâs Victorian whisky-making heyday, claiming and laying waste to several of the townâs distilleries. On December 17th, 1899, Glen Scotia along with heroic community members fought a fierce blaze at Dalintober distillery and saved it from an early fate. Youâll find no living saints or dragon slayers in Campbeltown, just a community who endures against the odds by virtue of its prevailing spirit of unity.
In celebration of the mythical tale, our Master Blender has chosen this medium peated 14-year-old single malt whisky. Finished for six months in ex-Barolo red wine casks, creating a whisky full of fiery red fruits. The smoky character, intertwined with layers of fruit, spice and a subtle maritime salinity, leaves no question of which distillery this limited release hails from.
