Size: 700ML
Proof: 114.2 (57.1%ABV)
Origin: Scotland
Distillery: Glen Scotia
A cleverly constructed Campbeltown combo, this small batch Glen Scotia (labelled Glen Toon) blends unpeated 2014 1st fill hogshead whisky with a peated 2016 1st fill barrel. Bottled at a slightly reduced 57.1% ABV, it’s full of the region’s trademark funky flair and coastal charm, with juicy sweetness and a balanced undercurrent of smoke. Complex, charismatic, and moreish.
Glen Scotia 8 Year Old - (Decadent Drinks) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Leather satchels, lime zest, sweet brine, distant soot.
Palate: Clove-studded orange, barley sugar, hessian, earthy peat.
Finish: Smoky tinned peaches, spent bonfire, damp dunnage floors.
Distillery Information
Glen Scotia is one of just three distilleries in Campbeltown producing single malt at the moment (along with Springbank and Glengyle). It was founded in 1832 by Stewart, Galbraith and Co and sited to the north of the town. The distillery draws its cooling waters from the Crosshill Loch and two bore holes, drilled over twenty metres into the rock below. Campbeltown was the capital of Scotch whisky production before the US Prohibition was enacted. There were some twenty-eight distilleies, though after the act was passed only three survived. Glen Scotia was acquired by West Highland Malt Distillers in 1919 and five years later the company went bankrupt. Duncan MacCallum, a director, purchased the company. The distillery was closed again in 1928 and a couple of years later, following great financial trouble, Duncan MacCallum threw himself into the very loch from which the Glen Scotia distillery draws its water. It is said that his ghost haunts the distillery. Glen Scotia survived the Second World War, having restarted production in 1933 after the repeal of Prohibition. In 1954, Hiram Walker acquired the distillery and shortly after it was purchased by A Gillies and Co.
