GLEN SCOTIA

ICONS OF CAMPBELTOWN

THE MERMAID

70cl | 12 Year Old | 54.1% ABV

This is the first in a new series from Glen Scotia, which takes inspiration from icons on the Campbeltown market cross. Glen Scotia’s whisky is shaped by its coastal climate, and whether real or just the result of a dram too many, mermaid sightings along the Kintyre coast are an unnervingly reoccurring theme, especially in the 1800’s when distilling in town was growing to new heights. To mark this first release, a subtly coastal, floral and delicate unpeated twelve-year-old single malt whisky has been chosen and finished in Palo Cortado sherry casks – a rare choice almost as special as mermaids.
