This latest release which was created by Distillery Manager and Master Distiller, Iain McAlister, is said to deliver notes of soft peat smoke, vanilla, fresh apples and pears on the nose, followed by notes of runny treacle, spicy white pepper, sweet fruits and salted toffee on the palate.
The Campbeltown Malts Festival is a pinnacle moment in the
town’s calendar each year. It celebrates the exceptional whisky-production
capabilities of the fifth whisky region and provides a platform for the three
remaining distilleries in the town to showcase their artistry in dram-making to
visitors from around the world.
Commenting on the launch, Iain McAlister, said: “Our
Festival Release 2022 is very special as it heralds the return of the
much-loved Malts Festival and the opportunity for us to showcase our work in
person once more to whisky fans from around the world. The limited-edition
release is an intriguing mix of characteristics, picking up our signature
maritime style and the rich sticky sweetness from the Pedro Ximénès hogsheads.
It is a liquid that has been crafted by our talented team and is a fantastic dram
to enjoy while soaking up Campbeltown and all it has to offer.”
Glen Scotia Campbeltown Malts Festival 2022 Edition, will be
available later this month from specialist retailers, for a RRP of £55.00.
