Christmas Gift Ideas: Glen Scotia Whisky

I know…. it’s not even Halloween yet, but Christmas is coming and this year I’m determined to be organised and get all the presents before the traditional last-gasp-dash around the shops on Christmas Eve.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a special reputation globally, but Glen Scotia founded in 1832 is one of only 3 Distilleries based in Campbeltown (Wee Toon) that is still in production today. With a major investment by the Loch Lomond Group in 2014, Glen Scotia has thrived in recent years, focusing all their experience and passion towards making the best whisky in the world.

Glen Scotia 25 Year Old

48.8% ABV – £275
The Glen Scotia 25 Year Old is the oldest whisky in the collection and available in strictly limited amounts. The bottles are presented in an oak case, making it an ideal Christmas present for any connoisseur of fine whisky.

Its complex flavours embody the true spirit of the seaside town, with hints of salty sea breeze, tangy orange and juicy red apples mixed with caramel sweetness.

From initial maturation in the finest American oak barrels to finishing in first-fill bourbon casks that provide an intense depth and aromas that will have you almost feeling the Atlantic breeze blowing in over the Campbeltown coast.

Glen Scotia 18 yo

The single malt imparts rich deep vanilla fruit flavours, with mild hints of apricot, pineapple and plump sultana.

Its finish is long and dry, with gentle warming spice  and is the perfect drink for a cold winter’s evening.
