- Description
- Glen Scotia's 21-year-old single malt from Campbeltown bridges the distillery's portfolio, spending most of its maturation in refill bourbon barrels and hogsheads before a six-month oloroso sherry finish at bottling. The refill wood allows Glen Scotia's maritime, briny character to shine through, while the oloroso finish introduces dried fruit, nutty notes, and warming spice that complement rather than mask the spirit's coastal origin. Bottled at 46% ABV with natural colour and non-chill filtered, the whisky presents with a silky texture and balanced finish that rewards both sipping and contemplation. An exemplary Campbeltown that showcases how restrained cask finishing can enhance rather than overpower distillery character.
