Glen Scotia
marks Scottish Whisky Awards 'Scottish
Whisky Distillery of the Year' award
with a limited release first-fill
bourbon casks matured 22 year old
expression.
 Glen
Scotia 22 Year Old ‘Distillery of the
Year’ is a new limited edition
expression bottled to celebrate winning
‘Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year’
at the Scottish Whisky Awards in
November 2021 and also to pay homage to
the continued success of the Campbeltown
distillery.
The folks at Glen Scotia have
worked over 2022 to create this limited
release of only 500 bottles which will
be available worldwide, priced at £475
for a 70cl bottle.
Described by the distillery as a perfect
representation of the signature Glen
Scotia style, to produce it they used
liquid from some of the distillery's
reserves of first-fill bourbon casks
which they tell me offers the classic tropical fruit
and oily coastal notes you’d expect from
a Campbeltown Single Malt Whisky. It was
bottled in May at a cask strength of
54.8% ABV and without added colour.
Presented in the brand’s new premium
packaging in a striking blue tube which
includes an elevated bottle with a
shoulder coin and heavy base.
A handful of bottles will be available
via ballot from the Glen Scotia website.
Limited to one entry per person, the
ballot is now open and closes on Sunday
4th September (23.59hrs). Successful
entrants will be notified on Monday 5th
September. The remaining bottles will be
available in limited numbers via whisky
specialist retailers worldwide.
Iain McAlister, Master Distiller at Glen
Scotia, said: "We are one of the
smallest distilleries in Scotland, but
with the combination of our team’s
craftsmanship and our ambition to take
Glen Scotia to the world, we are
producing some of the best whisky to
have come out of Campbeltown in many
years. This is a result of those that
came before us and their hard work and
knowledge of the craft.
"To win Scottish Whisky Distillery of
the Year was a real feat, and we knew we
needed to mark it in a special way. This
latest release is a fine example and a
legacy of a true Campbeltown malt, and
we hope collectors and friends of the
distillery from around the world will
join us in raising a dram of it to the
continued success of Glen Scotia."
A handful of bottles will be available
