- Description
- Glen Scotia's 1969 vintage represents Campbeltown whisky from a pivotal era, bottled by Douglas Laing after three decades in oak and presented at natural cask strength. This Old Malt Cask release offers the waxy, briny character typical of Glen Scotia's coastal character, mellowed by 30 years of maturation. The extended aging has built complexity and balance, with maritime influence woven throughout. A rare window into Campbeltown's mid-20th-century style, suited to collectors and those curious about the distillery's historical output.
