Glen Scotia Icons Of Campbeltown Release No. 2 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old
In stock
This limited edition release from Glen Scotia is decadently smoky with hints of fiery red candied fruits and berries, the finish is long with a dry spicey end note. A subtle maritime salinity leaves no question which distillery this limited edition hails from.
A celebration of The Campbeltown market cross – a community meeting point for storytelling – each release in this annual five part series takes its inspiration from the series of saints and beasts carved into the cross’ face. On the left arm of the cross, Saint Michael backed by an army of supporters heroically slays a fire breathing dragon with his spear. Glen Scotia has partnered with celebrated artist, Joel Holtzman (Lucasfilm, Marvel, Disney, Macmillan) to bring each icon to life, while our Master Blender has selected and crafted a whisky fitting of each tale.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with coppery glow and ruby highlights, a warm, sunlit hue that hints at red candied fruits and a smoky edge.
Nose
Velvety smoke and sea-salt air frame a bouquet of red candied fruits and ripe berries. A touch of fig and dried cherry from the sherry cask lingers, while a dry spice threads through. Maritime minerals leave a crisp, lingering note, unmistakably Campbeltown in character.
Palate
An oily, decadent smoke coats the palate, with red candied fruits and berries mingling with maritime saltiness. Rich fruit, subtle oak and a touch of sweetness unfold into a long, dry, spicy finish, with the high ABV warming and persisting on the tongue.
Finish
Long, decadently smoky finish with a dry, spicy end note and a subtle maritime salinity that lingers.
