Glen Scotia 1832 Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1.0L 46%
Glen Scotia is a whisky distillery from Campbeltown with a company history spanning almost 200 years. The Glen Scotia distillery was founded in 1832 and, like many whisky distilleries, went through many ups and downs during this founding period. The distillery remained in family ownership for just over a century until it was sold to West Highland Malt Distillers in 1919. They filed for bankruptcy just five years later, so the distillery was resold. It now belonged to Duncan McCallum. The 1920s were not easy years due to the prohibition of alcohol in the USA, which became apparent for McCallum towards the end of the 1920s. Due to massive business losses in the USA and personal illegal dealings, he went bankrupt and the distillery had to be closed in 1928. From then on, the Bloch Brothers took over the Glen Scotia distillery, managed to survive Prohibition, and operations resumed in 1933 shortly after its repeal. A good 20 years later, the distillery was sold, closed, and remodeled until it was acquired in 2014 by the private equity company Forma Exponent, who still owns Glen Scotia today.
Due to its proximity to the sea and the small island of Islay, Glen Scotia has concentrated on peated whiskies, which are known for their very smoky and peaty character.
Whisky 1832
The Whisky 1832, which is intended to be a homage to the year the distillery was founded, is first matured in American oak barrels after distillation and then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels.
The nose initially reveals slightly sweet notes of brown sugar and sweet dates, leather, oats and walnut aromas can also be detected. On the palate, the 1832 surprises with a harmonious interplay of smokiness and sweetness. A hint of sea breeze and peat are present and lead to a wonderful, long-lasting finish.
