About Glen Scotia

Campbeltown once had twenty-one distilleries and called itself the whisky capital of the world; Glen Scotia, founded in 1832, is one of only three left standing. Its mash tun, stillroom and dunnage warehouse keep their Victorian bones, and a crew of eight runs the place. The spirit carries the old Campbeltown signature: toffee, a briny maritime lick and a curl of smoke. Loch Lomond Group's since 2014.
