Glen Scotia 10 Year Old Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish, Campbeltown Malts Festival 2021
Description
Despite having been mothballed several times throughout its history, Glen Scotia is a proud survivor of the early 20th century desolation of Campbeltown, once known as "the whisky capital of the world.” The Kintyre peninsula formerly boasted over 30 distilleries, but by the end of the 1920s, only this and Springbank remained. Shut for most of the 1990s before being re-opened by Loch Lomond Distillers, today it is one of only three in the region, with an increasingly prominent portfolio of distillery bottlings in comparison to its quiet output under previous owners. This unpeated whisky has been aged for 10 years and has been finished in ex-Bordeaux Red Wine cask before being bottled to celebrate the 2021 Campbeltown Malts Festival.
