- Description
- Glen Scotia's pre-2015 16-year expression, aged in bourbon cask, represents the Campbeltown distillery's characterful house style with briny, maritime notes and subtle fruit. The bourbon maturation provides a clean backbone that allows the distillery's distinctive mineral and coastal character to emerge. The finish is dry and persistent, with a touch of sea-salt minerality. A solid representation of Campbeltown's unique terroir, suited to those exploring Scotland's lesser-known whisky region.
