Description
Laid down in December 1974, this extraordinary 48-year-old Glen Scotia is far more than a whisky of remarkable age—it is a living archive of Campbeltown’s whisky-making heritage. Carefully safeguarded through the hands of multiple generations of distillery teams, this precious liquid was repeatedly chosen to continue its maturation, a testament to its exceptional quality and promise at every stage of its long journey.
Finished in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, the whisky achieves a beautiful harmony between Glen Scotia’s distinctive coastal character and the deep, indulgent richness of sherry maturation. The influence of these casks layers dried fruits, treacle sweetness, and warming spice onto the distillery’s signature maritime notes, creating a whisky of immense depth, elegance, and poise.
This rare expression offers a window into a bygone era of Glen Scotia, capturing the spirit of Campbeltown as it once was—robust yet refined, coastal yet luxuriously complex. A true masterpiece of craftsmanship and patience, it stands as one of the oldest and most significant releases in the distillery’s history.
