Limited Edition Glen Scotia 10 Year Old – Bordeaux Red Wine Finish

Not only does this limited edition for Glen Scotia’s Malt Festival this year fall into one of the ‘Best of 2021’, this is also one hell of a ‘Damn Good Dram’! Quite possibly my favourite dram this year, this Glen Scotia 10 year old is now largely unavailable to purchase online, and prices are slowly starting to rise on auction sites.

Glen Scotia Limited Edition 10 Year Old

Using a series of exclusively unpeated distillation from 2009 – 2011, this 2021 release for The Campbeltown Malts festival, was matured in first fill bourbon barrels ensuring a spirit that truly reflects the Glen Scotia Distillery character.

These casks have been vatted together before finishing in first fill Bordeaux red wine casks, from the Medoc region, for a period of 5 months under the watchful eye of the Master Blender. Once the perfect balance is achieved between the red fruits from the wine casks and the classic fruit, spice and maritime notes of the Glen Scotia spirit was reached, the spirit was then married into refill bourbon barrels before bottling at cask strength, 56.1% ABV.
