Glen Scotia 2011 “Whiskyopolis” Saga No. 1 “4cl Sample” – 50%

The “Campbeltown Saga” series represents the rich heritage of Campbeltown, the Victorian whisky capital. The year 1832, the founding year of Glen Scotia, was a time when whisky literally flowed through the streets of Campbeltown. During this period, 37 distilleries operated in the port city of Campbeltown, which, due to this golden era, is known as “Whiskyopolis,” supplying the entire world with Campbeltown whisky. Campbeltown whiskies are known for their robust, oily character and intense smoke, imparted by the local peat, which created a dense, peaty atmosphere in Campbeltown. That’s why we say Glen Scotia is whisky from the whiskiest place in the world.

For the series launch, Iain McAlister selects exclusively the rare medium-peated first-fill bourbon casks, from which peated spirit is produced for only one month of the year.

The medium-peated first-fill bourbon casks offer a rich, smoky Campbeltown malt with a pronounced maritime character. This rare peated whisky is a tribute to the golden era of whisky production in Campbeltown.
