08-year-old

About

Glen Scotia's 8-year-old single malt offers a classic introduction to this Campbeltown distillery, celebrated for its maritime character. Despite its youth, this whisky displays mature complexity from sherry cask maturation. The profile balances sweet fruit notes with a briny, peppery dimension characteristic of Campbeltown's coastal location. The nose reveals honey and citrus with a peppery, peppermint-like sharpness, followed by stewed apple and dried fruit notes. On the palate, it becomes creamy and elegant, beginning sweet before turning savoury—white pepper heat and powdered ginger provide warmth. The finish remains dry and smoky, with persistent salinity and pepper that underscore its maritime heritage.
