About this deal

Apparently the world capital of whisky in the mid-19th century, Campbeltown now only has a fraction of the distilleries that were producing at its height, and Glen Scotia appears to be the largest. Alongside Springbank and Glengyle, it is one of only three remaining distilleries in Campbeltown and draws its water from the nearby Crosshill Loch. Sweet start and quite fat and though the alcohol gives a little tongue-tingling buzz the result is a good mid-palate weight.

Aged in a combination of refill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, the finest of which have been personally selected by Glen Scotia’s expert team, before a six-month finish in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, this elegant addition to Glen Scotia’s range is a smooth and aromatic dram ideal for whisky connoisseurs. Whether as a cherished whisky gift or a personal tasting adventure, they capture the spirit of this legendary whisky region. Don't worry about the lack of age statement - I am by no means an expert, but would guesstimate that this is made from barrels aged for around 8 years, as there's very little of the raw youthful tang of alcohol spirit and wood juice even at 46% ABV. Enjoy Glen Scotia Whisky responsibly and engage in thoughtful discussions with fellow whisky enthusiasts to share and celebrate your impressions of this fine spirit.Join us on Campbeltown’s coast where together with artist Joel Holtzman, we bring the tale of local resident, John McIsaac’s Mermaid to life through a unique and immersive at-home experience. With Loch Lomond Group now at the helm there has been much investment in making the brand as popular as it is today. The people of Campbeltown are stoic and proud, and our whisky has always had a wonderful way of bringing us together in times of need. Water slightly dismantles the different elements, but adds some dried mint before a deep, dark finish. For a comprehensive experience, consider referring to official tasting notes or watching accompanying tasting videos.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. A complex and elegant single malt whisky that displays a fruity and sweet character with hints of sea spray. The driver will input your year of birth into their device and may then require an ID check to complete the age verification process. This single malt gift set includes the much-loved Glen Scotia Double Cask and 15 Year Old single malt whiskies — two distinctive award-winning whiskies, each with their own flavour and character.

Working with Joel, we uncovered the story of John McIsaac’s (also referenced as M’Isaac’s) mermaid sighting, and his eerily detailed description that was supported by other community members. Glen Scotia was born in a place like no other - a small town on the west coast of Scotland that was to become the "Victorian Whisky Capital of the World.
