Glen Scotia Limited Edition Seasonal Release 2022 – launching 1st October 2022 worldwide, RRP £80

This 12 year old unpeated spirit has been matured in first fill Bourbon barrels before a final twelve month finish in Amontillado Sherry Casks. The result is a warm, nutty dram with long lingering vanilla notes and a mildly dry finish. Subtle maritime nuances on the nose and palate transport you to Campbeltown, as if walking along on our harbour at Christmas time. Natural colour and bottled at cask strength, it’s a true taste of Glen Scotia’s home.
