The Glen Scotia 21-year-old is a distinguished single malt whisky from the famed Campbeltown region, renowned for its elegant complexity and rich aromatic diversity. This whisky is meticulously matured in a combination of refill bourbon barrels and American oak hogsheads, before undergoing a final six-month finishing period in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, imparting a unique character to the spirit. Founded in 1832, Glen Scotia distillery is one of the smallest Scotch whisky distilleries yet remains a significant name in Campbeltown, the former whisky capital of the world. This 21-year-old release highlights the distillery's dedication to craftsmanship and tradition. The Oloroso sherry finish adds perfumed floral notes, creating a delicately aromatic dram while preserving the signature distillery character of rich fruits, hints of Atlantic sea spray, and subtle maritime nuances. Presented at 46%, this whisky is all natural color and un-chillfiltered, offering an unadulterated experience. The initial maturation in a combination of ex-bourbon barrels and American oak hogsheads, followed by a six-month finishing period in Oloroso sherry casks, imparts flavors of sweet Oloroso sherry, spiced red apples, and peppercorns on the nose. The palate reveals notes of raisins, cloves, baked apples, star anise, cinnamon, vanilla, toffee, and sea spray, which linger in the finish. This Campbeltown giant has produced some remarkable expressions over the years, winning both Scotland's Distillery of the Year and Best at Show at the Scottish Whisky Awards in 2021. This release is one of Glen Scotia's core range expressions, showcasing the distillery's exceptional character and the harmonious influence of Oloroso sherry casks. The shorter ageing period (six months) compared to the 18-year-old allows the underlying distillery character to shine through more prominently, with intense fruitiness, sweet raisins, and influences of Atlantic sea air. Bottled in a premium presentation with royal hues of purple and gold, this whisky is an elegant addition to Glen Scotia's range. With an ABV of 46%, it is free from chill-filtration and presented at natural color, making it an ideal choice for whisky connoisseurs. FAQs
