Glen Scotia 8 Year Old, Campbeltown Festival Release 2022

Their annual limited edition Festival Single Malt Scotch whisky bottlings are intriguing, bold, and appeal to those looking to be wonderfully surprised.

This year’s release is no exception: a heavy peated spirit distilled in 2013 and matured for seven and a half years in 100% first fill bourbon barrels, before a twelve-month finish in the finest first fill Pedro Ximenez hogsheads.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Glen Scotia’s signature sea spray can be detected on the nose, with a gentle smoke reminiscent of a fading bonfire on a Campbeltown beach.

Palate: Runny treacle, rich spices and an underlying peat influence come together in harmonious celebration.

Finish: A true taste of Campbeltown, there is a touch of salinity and maritime nuances throughout.
