Glen Scotia stands as one of just three surviving distilleries in Campbeltown, a Scottish region once crowned the “whisky capital of the world” with over 30 distilleries during its golden age. Established in 1832, Glen Scotia has endured the dramatic fluctuations of Campbeltown’s whisky industry, persisting through multiple ownership changes while preserving its distinctive Victorian character and traditional production techniques. The distillery crafts whiskies renowned for their maritime profile, typically featuring a unique blend of sea spray, gentle peat, and fruit notes.

The distillery has undergone a significant revival since the Loch Lomond Group’s acquisition in 2014. Glen Scotia has earned widespread recognition for its core offerings, including their Victoriana expressions, alongside various limited editions that highlight the distillery’s range. Though modest in production scale compared to many Scotch producers, Glen Scotia has cemented its position as a vital custodian of Campbeltown’s whisky legacy and a creator of distinctive single malts that embody the essence of this historic whisky region.
