Icons of Campbeltown

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.

The Wulver of Scottish folklore was said to be a formidable create with a gentle soul, a half man, half wolf with a thick coat of brown hair. Legend believes he would dwell in a cave cut into the side of a wooded hill and spent his days fishing in solitude. By night, generously sharing his catch at the doors of the poor and needy under the cover of darkness. A guardian spirit, the Wulver embodied a sense of kindness and compassion that echoed through the communities he watched over.

So too in Campbeltown, where resilience and mutual support are woven into our very DNA. Like the Wulver, our distilling community has always stood together through hardship, with no expectation of reward but the survival of its spirit. This limited edition 12 Year Old unpeated single malt is a whisky to be shared: finished for nine months in Tawny Port casks, it reveals deep colour, rich red forest berries and indulgent caramel. Dried fruits and a subtle maritime breeze lift the nose, while the finish is long, enduring, and true to the legend that inspired it. To capture this icon, artist Joel Holtzman has brought the Wulver vividly to life, a figure of strength and generosity, best appreciated with a dram in hand.
