Glen Scotia 21 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

Matured in a combination of refill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads before being married for a six-month finish in first fill oloroso sherry casks, creating a smooth and aromatic single malt whisky.

Aged in a combination of refill bourbon barrels and refill American oak hogsheads, the finest of which have been personally selected by Glen Scotia’s expert team, before a six-month finish in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, this elegant addition to Glen Scotia’s range is a smooth and aromatic dram ideal for whisky connoisseurs.

The Oloroso sherry finish adds perfumed floral notes, creating a delicately aromatic dram while preserving the signature distillery character of rich fruits, hints of Atlantic sea spray, and subtle maritime nuances. Glen Scotia’s 21-year-old is an exceptional single malt that delivers the true character of a refined and classic Campbeltown whisky.

The liquid has been matured to bridge the gap between Glen Scotia’s 18-year-old and its 25-year-old, which won the ‘Best in Class’ and therefore Best in the World, at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2021 out of 3,800 entrants.

The remarkable new release comes presented in Glen Scotia’s premium bottle in deep hues of purple and gold. An elegant metal coin of the Glen Scotia entwined ‘GS’ logo is set into the shoulder of the bottle, which is presented in a display box ideal for collectors or gifting to someone special.

46% abv, non-chill filtered, natural colour.

TASTING NOTES:

NOSE

Sweet perfumed oloroso, spiced red apple, peppercorns with a soft signature Campbeltown aroma

TASTE

Baked red apples, plump raisins, a journey of cloves, star anise, cinnamon and spice. Soft creamy vanilla, toffee and sea spray

FINISH

Long, complex and incredibly balanced, with a lingering touch of sea salt and sherry dryness
