Glen Scotia Campbeltown Malts Festival 2022 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old
In stock
The Campbeltown Malts Festival is a celebration of the region’s rich Whisky making legacy. The Glen Scotia limited edition Festival bottlings are intriguing, bold, and appeal to those looking to be wonderfully surprised. This year’s release is no exception; a heavy peated spirit distilled in 2013 and matured for seven and a half years in 100% first fill bourbon barrels, before a twelve-month finish in the finest first fill Pedro Ximenez hogsheads.
Glen Scotia’s signature sea spray can be detected on the nose, with a gentle smoke reminiscent of a fading bonfire on a Campbeltown beach. On the palate there are notes of runny treacle, rich spices, and an underlying peat influence come together in harmonious celebration. A true taste of Campbeltown, there is a touch of salinity and maritime nuances throughout.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep burnished amber with copper-gold sheen and subtle mahogany undertones.
Nose
Sea-salt sea spray and coastal brine greet the nose, followed by a soft, fading bonfire smoke. A delicate peat undertone lingers, evoking the Campbeltown coast and maritime freshness.
Palate
Runny treacle coats the palate, mingling with bold spices and a subtle peat. A maritime edge—saline and sea-spray—winds through, leaving a coastal warmth that lingers with the whisky’s smoky undertones.
Finish
Long, sherried finish carrying dark fig and raisin sweetness from PX, layered atop warming peat and spice. Maritime salt and sea-spray linger, drifting into a smoke-kissed afterglow that echoes Campbeltown’s coastal edge.
