Glen Scotia 12 Year Old Icons of Campbeltown – Release No. 3

Release No. 3 in the Icons of Campbeltown series pays tribute to the resilience and generosity that define the Campbeltown distilling community. Inspired by the Campbeltown Market Cross — a historic gathering place carved with saints and mythical beasts — this release tells a story of shared heritage and enduring local spirit.

This edition draws its inspiration from the Wulver of Scottish folklore, a mythical guardian known for strength, solitude, and quiet generosity. Like the legend it honours, this whisky reflects the values of compassion, resilience, and community that have sustained Campbeltown through centuries of change.

Aged for 12 years and bottled unpeated, this limited edition single malt is finished for nine months in Tawny Port casks. The result is a deep, inviting colour with rich notes of red forest berries and indulgent caramel. Dried fruits and a subtle maritime breeze lift the nose, while the finish is long, warming, and true to the character of Glen Scotia.

The label artwork, created by artist Joel Holtzman, brings the Wulver vividly to life — a powerful symbol of generosity and guardianship, best enjoyed with a dram in hand.

Tasting Notes:

Nose:
Dried red fruits, stewed berries and soft caramel sweetness, lifted by a gentle maritime breeze. Subtle notes of honeyed malt, toasted oak and a hint of spice follow.

Palate:
Rich and rounded with flavours of red forest berries, dark toffee and port-soaked dried fruits. The unpeated spirit allows the cask influence to shine, balanced by creamy malt and a touch of coastal salinity.

Finish:
Long, warming and indulgent. Lingering notes of caramelised sugar, dried fruit and soft oak fade slowly, leaving a clean, maritime freshness.
