Peat Meets the Campbeltown Coast
Most of Glen Scotia's range is unpeated, which makes this peated 10 Year Old the outlier to know: the distillery's maritime house character — salt spray, oily texture — wrapped around genuine peat smoke from first-fill bourbon wood. It is Campbeltown peat the way the distillery does it, without Islay-level intensity. Explore the full Glen Scotia lineup in our Scotch whisky collection.
Tasting Notes
Expect smouldering peat smoke and a briny, sea-spray note on the nose with baked apple and clove underneath. The palate is rich and oily — lemon zest, vanilla syrup, and fresh-cut barley — leading to a long, drying finish with sweet peat smoke and a black-pepper kick.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water to separate the smoke from the citrus. It makes a superb peated Highball and adds genuine depth to a Penicillin-style cocktail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Glen Scotia 10 Year Old Peated different from the regular 10 Year Old? Yes — Glen Scotia also makes an unpeated 10 Year Old; this expression is distilled from 100% peated malt. Do not confuse it with the limited "Legends of Scotia" 10YO either.
How peated is it? It carries clear Campbeltown peat smoke with a briny coastal edge — smoky but maritime and oily rather than medicinal.
What casks are used? First-fill bourbon barrels, non-chill filtered and natural in colour, per retailer/distributor specifications.
Is it chill-filtered? No — bottled non-chill filtered at natural colour.
