Glen Scotia 11 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished Campbeltown single malt bottled at 46% ABV, expertly finished in the finest Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. This natural colour whisky showcases the maritime character of Scotland's smallest whisky region, elevated by the rich influence of Spanish sherry wood that imparts layers of dried fruit sweetness and warming spice.

Glen Scotia Distillery stands as one of only three active distilleries in Campbeltown, once known as the whisky capital of the world. Founded in 1832, this storied distillery has weathered the rise and fall of the region's whisky industry, maintaining its commitment to traditional production methods and the distinctive maritime character that defines Campbeltown single malts. The careful selection of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks for finishing reflects the distillery's dedication to creating complex, nuanced expressions that honor both Scottish tradition and Spanish cooperage expertise.
