About this deal

Our Victoriana single malt pays homage to our distilling craft which dates back decades, as a modern interpretation of a classic Victorian style Campbeltown single malt.Matured in a combination of refill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads before being married for a six-month finish in first fill oloroso sherry casks, creating a smooth and aromatic single malt whisky. Be it with a special presentation box, bespoke dram glass or a set of tasting notes included - there are many ways to give whisky gifts from Glen Scotia to your loved ones. Glen Scotia's whisky tasting gift sets serve as an exquisite introduction to the distillery's unique character and heritage. Matured in first fill bourbon barrels before being finished for 12 months in PX sherry casks, this expression provides an intriguing harmony or rich and spicy fruit flavours, as well as distinctly Campbeltown notes. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

This single malt is matured in first fill bourbon casks with a 12 month finish in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. From Campbeltown's Glen Scotia comes Campbeltown Harbour, a little nod to the maritime nature of the whisky. Glen Scotia is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in the historic whisky-producing region of Campbeltown, located on the Kintyre Peninsula. After this initial tasting, you can experiment by adding a few drops of room-temperature water to see how it transforms and opens the flavours. This small town on the Kintyre peninsula on the west coast was once home to over thirty distilleries and with a distillery on every corner, it was known as "the Victorian Whiskey Capital of the World".To mark this first release, we have selected a subtly coastal, floral and delicate unpeated twelve-year-old single malt whisky, and finished it in Palo Cortado sherry casks - a rare choice almost as special as mermaids. It has also spent some finishing time in sherry casks, giving the whisky body and spice, while the distillery’s proximity to the coast has also given the whisky a salty quality.

A top quality 'integrity' (age statement, non chill filtered, natural colour and 46+% abv) bottling. Alongside Springbank and Glengyle, it is one of only three remaining distilleries in Campbeltown and draws its water from the nearby Crosshill Loch. Glen Scotia offers a variety of expressions, both peated and unpeated single malts, including core range releases, limited editions and unique single casks. Our distillery has stood the tests of time where so many others came and went, and today we stand proudly among the last of the many in Campbeltown. Since then it has changed hands several times,including a spell of ownership in the 1950s by Hiram Walker (who also owned Scapa).Information and statements about products are not intended to be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. It has gone on to invest heavily in Glen Scotia to develop this legendary brand, increasing capacity, opening warehouses and creating a visitor centre. Our Double Cask is matured in the finest first fill bourbon barrels before being finished for up to twelve months in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks producing this outstanding single malt whisky that provides the perfect balance of rich spicy fruits, overlaid with the characteristic sea spray and vanilla oak finish for which the house of Glen Scotia is famous.

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. The distillery was founded in 1832 by Stewart Galbraith, whose family held it until the end of that century. It offers a captivating exploration of this unique Scotch whisky region and the exceptional craftsmanship behind Glen Scotia's whiskies. Glen Scotia is one of the smallest whisky distilleries in Scotland but one of the big names of Campbeltown.Make each occasion that little more sophisticated by gifting the legacy of great whisky and enjoy the flavours that come from generations of refined technique and world-renowned Scottish ingredients.
