NO.2 ‘HEART OF THE RUN’

Campbeltown and the Kintyre Peninsula has long been a source of inspiration for artists locally and from further afield. In 2022, Glen Scotia was delighted to partner with Scottish artist, Alice Angus, who over a number of months visited the distillery and surrounding Campbeltown to absorb its essence, culminating in four magnificent paintings, which Alice entitled ‘Spirit Safe’. We felt that artwork this special deserved a very special limited edition bottling.


Spirit Safe Collection

Alice Angus



  • Only 120 bottles of this incredibly limited release are available worldwide. To celebrate work this special, we selected remnants of a deep and distinguished unpeated 30-year-old single malt, matured in European oak casks, taste tested by Alice and Iain McAlister during Alice’s residency at the distillery. Each of the 120 bottles bears one of Alice’s four ‘Spirit Safe’ paintings, presented in a rigid display box which makes them a fantastic addition to any Campbeltown single malt lover’s whisky shelf or collection.

The Inspiration

"Even in cold winter days the still room is hot. I often sat close to the stills to draw them and felt like the whole space was filled with a fiery orange glow and heat. The room is full of sounds, from the creak of the stills, the deep musical clangof the man-door opening, and the hiss of the steam escaping. The stillman constantly checks, adjusts, and waits for just the right moment. When the spirit is ready its aroma escapes the spirit safe and fills the room. When I went outside to cool down, the rooks and hooded crows of Campbeltown hopped about on the warehouse roof, and sometimes I could smell the crash of waves on the wind as it drifted through the courtyard.”

Alice Angus

Alice Angus

Like whisky production, Alice’s technique involves patience, time and experimentation. She uses pencil, watercolour and ink to draw from life, spending a long time observing her surroundings through sight, sound, smell and touch, often waiting for the right moment, drawing similarities with the time and craftsmanship required in whisky-making. Some of her works are completed on-site directly from life and others are developed in the studio into larger-scale artworks.

With a keen curiosity in her natural surroundings, Alice Angus was educated at Glasgow School of Art, later relocating to London. However, she remains forever inspired by the country and splits her time between the two places. Her body of work includes works on paper, video, audio and textiles and ranges from large curatorial, collaborative projects to individual commissions, public artworks, community projects and research. She has undertaken residencies and projects in many places, urban and rural, from Lancaster to the Canadian Arctic.

“My Spirit Safe series was inspired by the generations of dedicated people, the Campbeltown community, the unique coastal landscape, the ingredients, skills, engineering, and care that goes into making Glen Scotia, and all rhythms of time across hours, days, years, and decades involved in its creation”.
