Scotland, Campbeltown, Mull of Kintyre. Distillery operational. Owner: Loch Lomond Group

It is almost a miracle that Glen Scotia survived the crises of the 20th century and the periods of restructuring that were to hit the Scotch whisky industry. And yet, along with Springbank, it was for a long time one of only two survivors of the long and inexorable decline of Campbeltown, once a veritable whisky metropolis. Glen Scotia boasts a handful of bottlings, all now extremely rare, dating from the 60s and 70s and aged between 5 and 12 years old.From the late 1980s, its bottlings were similar to those of Littlemill, as the distilleries both belonged to the same owners. Since 2015, the Loch Lomond group has completely redefined the distillery's range and released a plethora of exclusive bottlings.

A Glen Scotia distilled in July 1999 and bottled in June 2006. Selected and bottled for The Whisky Fair, this heavily peated version is a blend of two bourbon casks and a limited edition of 464 bottles.
