This exceptional aged statement single malt is unpeated and matured in first fill bourbon and re-fill American oak casks. This provides a true taste of Campbeltown in a glass and highlights our distillery’s key flavour characteristics. Rich and smooth with a subtle hint of saltiness, which boasts hints our coastal sea air and unique warehouse maturation right on the Campbeltown Loch.
Campbeltown’s whisky has long enjoyed a very special and long-standing relationship with Bourbon and American Oak casks. This traditional choice of wood compliments Glen Scotia’s slow fermentation and small batch process, delivering underlying balanced fruit character and sweet toffee and background spice that defines our whisky. With only a very short finish in Oloroso casks, the Glen Scotia 15-year-old let’s all of those classic regional traits shine through, delivering a true taste of Campbeltown.
