Icons of Campbeltown

Release No.2

Free Express Shipping

Release No.2, the second in the Icons of Campbeltown series is inspired by the marking depicting Saint Michael, the courageous Archangel, who heroically slayed a fire-breathing dragon with his spear.

To celebrate the mythical tale, we have released this unique medium peated 14 year old single malt whisky. The bold maritime salinity and smoky peat are beautifully balanced by the wonderful sweetness of candied red fruits, enriched after six months in the finest ex-Barolo red wine casks.
 




  • The Icons of Campbeltown series pays tribute to the Campbeltown community that ensured Glen Scotia prevailed through history. Taking our 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.

    Release No.2 takes inspiration from St Michael, backed by an army of supporters, slaying a fire breathing dragon. Ravenous fires were something of a theme in Campbeltown’s Victorian whisky-making heyday, claiming and laying waste to several of the town’s distilleries. On December 17th, 1899, Glen Scotia along with heroic community members fought a fierce blaze at Dalintober distillery and saved it from an early fate. You’ll find no living saints or dragon slayers in Campbeltown, just a community who endures against the odds by virtue of its prevailing spirit of unity.

    In celebration of the mythical tale, our Master Blender has chosen this medium peated 14-year-old single malt whisky. Finished for six months in ex-Barolo red wine casks, creating a whisky full of fiery red fruits. The smoky character, intertwined with layers of fruit, spice and a subtle maritime salinity, leaves no question of which distillery this limited release hails from.

“The swirling smoke and rich red colour are evocative of the fire-breathing dragon slayed by Saint Michael on the Campbeltown Cross.”.

Glen Scotia was delighted to partner with Joel to reimagine the Icons of the Campbeltown cross. Working with Joel, we uncovered the story of John McIsaac’s (also referenced as M’Isaac’s) mermaid sighting, and his eerily detailed description that was supported by other community members.   

“I’ve always had a fascination with ancient times, traditions and beliefs. Getting to know the story of this project was inspiring. I began with rough sketches, with an emphasis on mood, before defining the detail of the painting”
