Glen Scotia
Region: Campbeltown
District: null
At one time, Glen Scotia was one of thirty-two
distilleries in the Campbeltown region of Scotland. Today,
it is one of only two distilleries that remain in this one-time
"whisky capital" of Scotland. Glen Scotia Distillery was founded
about 1832 and has had several owners. In some bottlings,
it has a heavier and stronger flavor than the other Campbeltown
malt, Springbank. It also has a hint of oiliness that is not
prevelant in the Springbank. This could be due to the practice
of separately distilling the foreshoots and feints and the
extra distilling step that Springbank adds.
