Glen Scotia 12 Year Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No.1 The Mermaid - 54.1% 70cl

Introducing the new Icons of Campbeltown series: a celebration of the Campbeltown community that ensured Glen Scotia prevailed through history.

Taking inspiration from the Campbeltown Market Cross – a historic community meeting point for celebration and storytelling, with a series of saints and beasts carved into its stone face – each release recalls a tale of local community spirit.

Glen Scotia has partnered with celebrated artist, Joel Holtzman (Lucasfilm, Marvel, Disney, Macmillan) to bring each of the icons to life. 

In Release 1, over a subtly maritime dram, we recall the community sighting of a mermaid on our local shores.

To pay homage to this special event, Glen Scotia have selected an equally special Palo Cortado sherry cask finishing to compliment this unpeated coastal and saline cask strength spirit.  

Nose: Rich, mellow and slightly drying. Maritime salt crystals, boat varnish, edible seaweed. Thick fruity tarte tatin, Dundee Seville marmalade and tablet toffee.

Palate: A creamy texture, lightly sweet centre palate glazed with French apple tart and a pinch of salt.

Finish: Long and warming with a savoury aftertaste and spicy finish.
