Grab a Glen
Scotia tasting kit and join their live
tasting from the Campbeltown Malts
Festival or simply register and tune
into the virtual event for free.
Glen Scotia is calling on whisky fans
from around the world to get their
tickets to its first live global whisky
tasting, the Global Gathering, taking
place on the 26th and 27th of May 2022.
Part of Glen Scotia’s programme of
activities at this year’s Campbeltown
Malts Festival (24th-27th May), the
virtual tastings are expected to welcome
people from near and far as they come
together to enjoy drams from the
award-winning distiller.
Glen Scotia Distillery Manager and
Master Distiller, Iain McAlister, will
lead the gathering live from the Dunnage
Warehouse in the heart of Glen Scotia’s
distillery. The first will take place on
Thursday, 26th May at 5.30pm GMT and the
second on Friday, 27th May at 11am GMT.
Through a guided tasting, he will
explore the profile of five Glen Scotia
drams in the tasting pack, including the
brand’s increasingly scarce 25 year old
expression which was recently named
World’s Best Whisky.
As well as offering insights into the
craftsmanship, profile and flavour of
each dram, Iain will be taking questions
from attendees in-person and those
virtually around the world. Virtual
attendees will have the opportunity to
post questions, join polls and become
fully immersed in the Festival
experience.
Launched in 2008, the Campbeltown Malts
Festival is a three-day celebration of
the region known as the ‘Victorian
Whisky Capital of the World’ due to its
illustrious past and the role
whisky-making has played in the town for
centuries. The event will also mark an
incredible twelve months of achievements
for the Glen Scotia distillery after it
was awarded ‘Best in Show’ at the San
Francisco World Spirits Awards and later
Scottish Distillery of the Year in
December of last year. It is the first
time a distillery has achieved both
accolades, let alone in the same year.
Guests without the Malts Festival
tasting pack are also being encouraged
to sign up and use their home stock to
enjoy the discussion and insight into
the distillery that has achieved
remarkable global success.
 Glen Scotia’s Distillery Manager &
Master Distiller, Iain McAlister, said,
"The Campbeltown Malts Festival marks
our favourite moment of the year. It is
the time when we look forward to
welcoming visitors to the distillery,
but we know there are a great many
friends and fans around the world that
can’t be with us in person this year. I
am excited to bring a piece of the
Festival to our global guests and raise
a dram with them from afar.”
