Glen Scotia is just one of the smallest Scotch whisky distilleries in Scotland yet one of the big names of Campbeltown. Our lovely distillery still maintains much of its initial style, including the mash tun, the stillroom and also the dunnage storehouse dating from the 1830s. The last century saw unstable times for the whisky distilleries of Campbeltown, yet our legacy sustains. Rich in original features as well as equipment, Glen Scotia is an expressive as well as one-of-a-kind location to function, in addition to check out. We work hard to preserve the distillery's historic structures and also functions with treatment as well as pride as well as love revealing site visitors around. To now, we're following in the steps of our founders, distilling whisky making use of conventional methods, thoroughly creating the unique Campbeltown maritime design we've come to be world famous for. However we make greater than whisky at Glen Scotia. In the yard you'll find two hives, where our resident bees create their scrumptious honey. Glen Scotia has always created two designs of whisky-- peated and also non peated. Normally our peated whisky is transformed for a duration of 6 weeks per year. Over the years the high quality of our whisky has grown, with longer fermentation as well as vatting of the malted barley, as well as a slower and more cautious purification. However overall the procedure has actually continued to be the same. Although we no longer malt our own barley, we buy in Scottish malted barley to our exact spec in order to keep the true Glen Scotia personality via our distilling process. We would certainly love to invite you to Glen Scotia. Campbeltown is an extremely unique location in Scotland, described as 'the centre of deep space' by a few of its current residents. With an abundance of abundant farmland, neighborhood barley, peat and fresh water, it was nearly inevitable it would certainly come to be an important part of the background of whisky distilling. Distilling on the Kintyre peninsula dates back to 1609 with the giving of the initial permit to create 'aqua vitae'. In the Victorian age, Campbeltown was referred to as the whisky capital of the world-- one of the five distinctive malt generating areas of Scotland, particularly Highland, Speyside, Lowland and also Islay and also naturally, Campbeltown. Glen Scotia is a great instance of this historic area.
