Once a giant. Still unmistakable.

Campbeltown

Explore the unique, maritime-influenced whisky of Campbeltown with Glen Scotia – rich, complex, and full of character.

Welcome to Campbeltown

Campbeltown was once the whisky capital of the world. At its peak, more than 30 distilleries lined the Kintyre peninsula, supplying spirit to blenders across Scotland and beyond. Today, only a handful remain, but what the region has lost in numbers, it has more than made up for in character.


Campbeltown whiskies are defined less by polish and more by personality. Expect oily textures, coastal salinity and a savoury depth that sets them apart from every other Scotch whisky region. It is a style shaped by geography, sea air and a stubborn commitment to tradition.


Glen Scotia stands at the heart of Campbeltown’s modern revival. Founded in 1832, the distillery has quietly carried the region’s torch through boom, bust and rediscovery. Its whiskies capture the unmistakable Campbeltown DNA while balancing richness, maturity and drinkability.

Glen Scotia. Campbeltown, distilled.

Glen Scotia produces a robust yet refined spirit that reflects its coastal surroundings. Traditional distillation and a willingness to let character lead the way result in whiskies that feel authentic, distinctive and unmistakably Campbeltown.


From gentle salinity and waxy texture to deeper notes of spice, oak and dried fruit, Glen Scotia’s range showcases how much flavour can come from a small but fiercely individual region.

Tasting notes

Nose

Fresh sea spray and honeyed vanilla are joined by ripe pineapple, mango, and citrus peel, while subtle oak spice hovers in the background.

Palate

Sweet caramelised sugar and juicy tropical fruit lead, with layers of tangy lemon, toasted oak, and maritime salinity. Hints of ginger and nutmeg develop, giving balance to the fruit.

Finish

Long, warming, and gently spiced, with cinnamon, vanilla cream, and a final touch of coastal breeze.
