Glen Scotia unveiled its oldest-ever release with a 50 Year Old single malt in 2025, marking the debut of the Elements of Campbeltown series. The inaugural release, Air, was distilled in 1973 and matured entirely in American hogshead casks. The whisky reflected Glen Scotia’s maritime character, combining salinity with developed sweetness and spice. Limited to 100 bottles worldwide, it represented a major distillery milestone and a rare example of extended Campbeltown maturation.

Nose

Sea spray, apple, marzipan, fudge

Palate

Caramelized apple, walnuts, butterscotch

Finish

White pepper, ginger, coconut

A wash of sea air and apple leads on the nose with marzipan and fudge in support. The palate follows with caramelized apple, nutty notes and a creamy texture that feels remarkably fresh for its age.
