Campbeltown Malts Festival 2025 Limited Edition 9y

About

This Glen Scotia limited edition for the 2025 Campbeltown Malts Festival represents a remarkable expression of the distillery's craft. A heavily peated 9-year-old single malt, this whisky demonstrates surprising complexity and depth for its age. The addition of a five-month finishing period in premium Ribiera del Duero red wine casks brings sophistication and richness to the smoky foundation. The nose reveals a wonderfully aromatic profile: fresh fruits including strawberries, cream, and soft mango, followed by meadow honey and warming, ashy notes. On the palate, dark fruits—blackcurrant and cherries—take centre stage, complemented by peppery spice and full-bodied character. The finish is impressively long and complex, with excellent alcohol integration despite the robust 54.9% ABV. This festival bottling is a must-have for enthusiasts of peated Campbeltown malts seeking something truly special and limited in availability.
