The month of May in Scotland means it’s time for the whisky festivals. This week, it’s the turn of Scotland’s smallest whisky region, Campbeltown. Campbeltown used to be the beating heart of the whisky business in the Victorian era, with 30+ active distilleries in the town. Unfortunately, overproduction and a drop in quality led to there now only being three distilleries, but there are 3 more to open in the coming years.

The festival is the perfect chance to go and experience Campbeltown, with the 3 distilleries opening their doors one day at a time, allowing visitors to enjoy amazing whisky and live music and many more things. This whisky from Glen Scotia is the festival bottling for 2024, unpeated and aged in a Fino cask.

It has a lot of floral and fresh notes with a lovely citrus taste. A perfect summer whisky!
