Release No.4, the fourth chapter in the Icons of Campbeltown Series, is dedicated to the Griffin — the Griffin was said to soar high above Campbeltown’s harbour, ever alert, guarding what mattered most, Campbeltown’s liquid gold.
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.
Legend has it, the Griffin was said to soar high above Campbeltown’s harbour, ever alert, guarding what mattered most, Campbeltown’s liquid gold. For in Campbeltown, our true gold has never been buried beneath the earth, but patiently crafted within our distilleries, resting in the barrels at the harbour, before its journey to the new world.
This twelve-year-old unpeated limited edition single malt is a celebration of that liquid gold. Finished for twelve months in Vin Santo wine casks, the whisky reveals a rich honeyed sweetness layered with notes of dried apricot and sultana. Toasted almond and hazelnut add depth and warmth, while a gentle hint of cinnamon spice lingers, rewarding those who take the time to savour it. It is a whisky of balance and quiet confidence, our coastal influence soars through the palate, much like the guardian at our harbour.

awesome
Gift for husband, loves it. Big fan of glen scotia whiskeys
Tasted it at the distillery 🥃 , very special, being very patient not opening my bottle until Christmas!
I have only had a wee dram of this whisky so far but I love it it is very smooth The only whisky in the icons series that I haven’t tried is the peated one as I’m not keen on smoky whisky, but the rest are gorgeous, I love the artwork too
I have collected each icon bottle as it was launched so 4 out of 5 so far. Looking forward to number 5 keep up the good work Glen Scotia
Great service and a fantastic whisky
Gift for a friend who loves a good non peaty whisky. He hated it .
Sorry haven't as yet opened the bottle but I just wanted to comment on the delivery, time from point of sale to delivery was excellent, packaged by Andrea which was brilliant, arrive in good order. Thank you
All in one place. Thanks
Coincidence! I was barely back from holiday in Tuscany where I discovered Vin Santo and the custom of dipping cantuccini when Icons No.4 was announced, immediately putting it at the top of my wanted list. What would the sweet wine finish be like? Could it replace the tiny Il Santo I had brought home (accursed baggage allowance)? How would the cantuccini go with it? No.4 duly arrived on what had been a stressful day at work, so the seal was destined not to remain intact for long. I found a liquor glass that my parents used for fortified wine, which seemed the most appropriate for a first sample. The scene was set. The nose immediately reminded me of GS12, but then gave way to rich fruit cake. The palate is more complex, lots going on, and the finish is long. Finally, the sweet smell from the empty glass demanded a refill. Maybe I won’t recommend cantuccini dipped in the neat whisky, however. It worked well flavour-wise, but stung the gums somewhat. An accompanying slice of Genoa cake might be better. All in all, this is another great Glen Scotia and worthy of its place in the Icons series.
Absolutely loved it
I was so looking forward to this next release in the series and have not been disappointed. I am slightly biased as Glen Scotia is my favourite whisky brand !
Unfortunately I'm not a whisky drinker but I buy them for a good friend of mine . Dale Robertson who is also a customer of yours . His favourite distillery .
Super whisky fantastic product great packaging excellent delivery happy customer
Looking forward to tasting the Griffin
I love Glen Scotia whisky. I have done since the first time I ever tasted whisky properly. Every release is superb. My favourite is the 15yrs but all.the rest are uniquely great
That's the fourth!👍
Absolutely love this series and can’t wait for the next one
Best of the "Icons" yet. Smooth with just a little burn from the 53.6%, with a lovely "orangey" finish.
The 4th Campbeltown Icons bottle has been purchased as a Christmas present for my grandson. This will go along with Icons one to three, none of which have been opened yet as he's only 3 years old 😳
Another one for my collection good fast delivery
Another great dram to sip and enjoy while thinking about friends far away
And then there were 4!!! Absolutely love this collection from this amazing distillery. It’s the one release anywhere that I eagerly look forward to and have had to get the last couple of years. … and the artwork is stunning.
This is for my birthday not open yet but its the 4th in my Glen scotia Campbeltown icon I have been to the distillery fantastic place
It’s in my collection thanks guys
Great addition to my Glen Scotia collection. Would love to get a sample to taste & enjoy
Waiting for No 5 to join the collection.
As yet unopened but compliments the previous releases in the series. Cask make up sounds great and the service provided was excellent.
