The Glen Scotia 10 Year Old Limited Edition 2021 is a remarkable single malt whisky produced to celebrate the Campbeltown Malts Festival, an annual event held in May that honors the unique heritage and character of Campbeltown and its whisky-making traditions. This edition is the result of a series of unpeated distillations from 2009 to 2011, aged for 10 years in first-fill bourbon barrels, and then finished for five months in first-fill Bordeaux Médoc red wine casks. Under the meticulous supervision of Michael Henry, Master Blender of Glen Scotia, the whisky was subsequently married into refill bourbon casks and bottled at cask strength 56.1% ABV.
On the nose, this whisky presents enchanting notes of honey and fresh red berries, accompanied by a hint of maritime saltiness. The palate is a delightful journey featuring sweet honey with apples and strawberries, enriched with oak and vanilla nuances. The finish is long, warm, and spicy, leaving a lasting impression on the senses.
This limited-edition malt was distilled at the Glen Scotia distillery, which is renowned for its rich history and tradition in whisky-making. The whisky was initially matured in 100% first-fill bourbon barrels before being finished in Bordeaux red wine casks, resulting in a complex and unique flavor profile. Produced specifically for the Campbeltown Malt Festival 2021, this bottling marks Glen Scotia's first unpeated release for the festival, a noteworthy departure from its usual peated expressions.
