Summary

This 10-year-old single malt whisky from Glen Scotia is a special release for the Campbeltown Malts Festival 2020. It has been finished in Bordeaux wine casks, which impart a unique character to the spirit. The whisky is crafted in the historic Campbeltown region of Scotland, known for its rich whisky-making heritage and distinctive maritime influence.

The Bordeaux wine cask finish adds layers of complexity to the whisky, enhancing its natural flavors with notes of red fruits and a subtle tannic quality. The maturation process in these casks also contributes to a deeper color and a richer mouthfeel, making it a delightful experience for both novice and seasoned whisky drinkers.

On the palate, this whisky offers a harmonious balance of sweetness and spice, with underlying hints of oak and vanilla. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of the wine cask influence. This release is a testament to Glen Scotia's craftsmanship and the unique terroir of Campbeltown.
