- Description
- Glen Scotia's festival release combines unpeated barley spirit with a sophisticated cask journey: bourbon aging, five months in first-fill Medoc Bordeaux barriques, and a final marriage in refill bourbon. The result balances ripe orchard fruit and jammy berry notes from the wine cask against the distillery's signature coastal salinity and subtle mineral character. Best suited to those exploring how wine finishes enhance Campbeltown's maritime identity.
