Glen Scotia
has introduced a new cask strength 2003
vintage limited edition Rum Cask Finish
single malt to celebrate its Campbeltown
Malts Festival 2019.
 The
Glen Scotia 2003 Rum Cask Finish is a
new limited edition single malt from the
Glen Scotia distillery which they
released to mark its Campbeltown Malts
Festival 2019 programme.
The festival, which was held last month,
showcases all that is unique and special
about single malts from the region. In
the Victorian era the town was home to
more than 30 distilleries and known as
‘whisky capital of the world’.
Today Glen Scotia is one of just three
surviving local distilleries and its
award-winning whiskies are known for
their distinctive Campbeltown character.
A 2003 Vintage, it is a peated single
malt which is said to deliver "sea spray
and sweetness on the nose, with notes of
melted brown sugar, pineapple and citrus
fruits developing before delivering a
long dry finish, with spice and sweet
peat".
Non-chill filtered, it has been bottled
at cask strength, 51.3% ABV and around
9,500 bottles will be available
worldwide.
Iain McAlister, Distillery Manager at
Glen Scotia, said: "Our new limited
edition rum cask single malt offers
whisky fans something very special,
bringing together the maritime
influences associated with Campbeltown
and the sweet, tropical notes of rum –
another sea-faring spirit.
"As someone who was born and bred in
Campbeltown, I am very proud of our
distinctive history and heritage. I hope
whisky lovers have fun discovering our
latest exceptional single malt."
Hundreds of visitors from all over the
world took part in tours, tastings and
more at Glen Scotia as part of its
packed programme during the Campbeltown
Malts Festival. Highlights included
tastings at its historic dunnage
warehouse and two sold-out whisky
dinners held at the Ardshiel and Ugadale
Hotels.
The distillery also hosted local MSP
Michael Russell to launch its new
campaign to recognise Campbeltown, the
fifth and smallest of Scotland’s
official malt-producing regions, as the
‘whiskiest place in the world’. Glen
Scotia has introduced new branding as
part of the global campaign.
Priced around £70.95 you will find the
Glen Scotia 2003 Rum Cask Finish available

online whisky retailers such as
