The Glen Scotia 8yo Campbeltown Malts Festival 2022 is a limited-edition single malt whisky, meticulously crafted to celebrate the Campbeltown Malts Festival. Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2022, this exceptional whisky showcases Glen Scotia's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. This heavily peated expression was matured for seven and a half years in first-fill bourbon barrels, followed by a year-long finish in first-fill Pedro Ximenez sherry casks or hogsheads, creating a complex and multifaceted flavor profile. Bottled at a robust cask strength of 56.5% ABV, the whisky presents a smoky, savory profile with distinct notes of smoked cheese, charred marshmallows, salted toffee, and a unique maritime punch. The aroma features a captivating blend of salty sea-spray, soft bonfire smoke, treacle, rich baking spices, earthy peat, and coastal salinity. The palate is equally engaging, revealing layers of raisin, vanilla, salt, and spice, culminating in a satisfying coastal finish marked by briny, peaty, and spicy notes. This limited release is a rare and coveted addition to any whisky collection, with only 24,000 bottles produced. Glen Scotia's signature style is evident throughout, offering a unique expression that is both complex and harmonious.

Overall, the Glen Scotia 8yo Campbeltown Malts Festival 2022 is perceived as a whisky with a respectable yet not overwhelmingly impressive profile. The initial peat smoke is noticeable but not as intense as expected. The whisky has a sweetness reminiscent of wine gums, alongside notes of green apple, birch twigs, and hay. However, some reviewers feel that the sweetness can become overpowering, leading to a dry and somewhat quick finish. While it may not be a standout for everyone, it remains a well-crafted expression with distinct characteristics.
