Facts

Glen Scotia was the first distillery in Campbeltown to bottle a tasting set. This pairs their Double Cask and 15 Year Old expressions. Each bottle tells a different story from Scotland's smallest whisky region. The Double Cask brings together ex-bourbon and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, creating layers of dried fruit and butterscotch. The 15 Year Old matures in American oak barrels, developing rich apple and citrus notes with a malty backbone. Both whiskies capture the distinctive character that made Campbeltown the whisky capital of the world. Pour them neat to taste the difference between cask influences and age.

About the distillery

Distillery

Glen Scotia

Glen Scotia is a whisky distillery located in Campbeltown, Scotland. It was founded in 1832 and has been producing whisky for almost two centuries. The distillery produces single malt Scotch whisky using traditional methods and has a production capacity of 750,000 litres per year. The distillery is known for its distinctive maritime style, which is attributed to its location on the west coast of Scotland, near the Atlantic Ocean. This unique character is reflected in the flavour of its whiskies, which often have notes of sea salt, brine, and seaweed. Glen Scotia is one of only three distilleries remaining in Campbeltown, which was once a thriving whisky-producing region. At its peak in the 19th century, the town was home to more than 30 distilleries, but economic downturns and changing tastes led to the closure of most of them. Today, Glen Scotia is a rare example of a traditional Campbeltown distillery.

About the Glen Scotia Tasting Set Double Cask and 15

Glen Scotia Tasting Set Double Cask and 15 is a single malt Scotch whisky collection from Campbeltown, Scotland. This gift set pairs two distinctive expressions from Glen Scotia distillery, which has operated continuously since 1832. The distillery stands in Campbeltown on the Kintyre Peninsula, once known as the whisky capital of the world. The Double Cask expression showcases Glen Scotia's mastery of dual maturation techniques. This whisky matures in both ex-bourbon barrels and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, creating remarkable complexity. The bourbon casks contribute vanilla and honey sweetness, while the sherry influence adds dried apricot, butterscotch, and rich caramel notes. Earthy undertones balance the sweetness, with fresh fruit and green apple brightening the palate. Glen Scotia 15 Year Old represents the distillery's commitment to traditional aging methods. This expression develops exclusively in American oak barrels for over fifteen years. The extended maturation produces a refined malty whisky with bright citrus character and warming almond notes. Barley sugar and cream textures emerge through patient aging. Alongside delicate floral hints that reflect Campbeltown's unique maritime climate and coastal influence. Both expressions in the Glen Scotia Tasting Set Double Cask and 15 are bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration. They demonstrate the remarkable range of flavours achievable from a single distillery through different cask selections and aging periods. The set offers whisky enthusiasts an exceptional opportunity to explore contrasting maturation styles side by side. Enjoy these whiskies neat. You taste their individual characters and the traditional craftsmanship that defines authentic Campbeltown single malt whisky.
