An Oloroso-Finished Campbeltown Classic
Campbeltown was once the "Whisky Capital of the World," and Glen Scotia — one of only three surviving distilleries in the town — carries that Victorian-era legacy into every cask. The 18 Year Old spends the bulk of its long maturation in refill bourbon wood before a full year in first-fill Oloroso sherry, a finish that layers rich dried-fruit depth over the distillery's crisp coastal character.

Tasting Notes
The nose opens elegant and crisp with a signature Campbeltown saltiness, perfumed floral notes, sweet honey, and salted caramel. The palate is smooth and rich — sweet toffee, apricot, pineapple, and plump sultana with a gentle warming spice. The finish is long and dry, carrying that spice through to the end.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a few drops of water to open the fruit and floral notes. A whisky of this age rewards a quiet pour after dinner, though a splash in a premium Rob Roy lets the Oloroso finish shine.
