The Story
The Icons of Campbeltown series pays tribute to the Campbeltown community that ensured Glen Scotia prevailed through history. Taking inspiration from the Campbeltown Market Cross – a historic community meeting point for celebration and storytelling, with a series of saints and beasts carved into its stone face – each release recalls a tale of local community spirit.
Release No.2 takes inspiration from St Michael, backed by an army of supporters, slaying a fire breathing dragon. You’ll find no living saints or dragon slayers in Campbeltown, just a community who endures against the odds by virtue of its prevailing spirit of unity.
Tasting Note: This medium peated 14-year-old single malt whisky was finished for six months in ex-Barolo red wine casks, creating a whisky full of fiery red fruits. The smoky character, intertwined with layers of fruit, spice and a subtle maritime salinity, leaves no question of which distillery this limited release hails from.
