This bottling of a 12-year-old Glen Scotia single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as a limited edition with the name Seasonal Release. The whisky was distilled in 2009, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, received a finish in first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry casks as well as heavily burnt casks and was bottled at cask strength in 2021.
Glen Scotia is a distillery in Campbeltown, which was founded in 1832 under the name Scotia Distillery. It has had a chequered history with many closures and sales. It has been in continuous production again since 2000. Since 2014, Glen Scotia has belonged to the Loch Lomond Group together with the Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse and the Loch Lomond Distillery.
The Campbeltown region got its name from the most important place on Kintyre and included all the distilleries on the peninsula. In its heyday there were said to have been 20-30 distilleries, but since the 1920s the number has declined so that today only Glen Scotia and Springbank (with Longrow and Hazelburn, both names of defunct distilleries) remain.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
