Glen Scotia 48 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glen Scotia 48 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Oloroso & PX Sherry Cask Finish

Product Overview

Glen Scotia 48 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a once-in-a-generation release that stands as a living archive of Campbeltown’s whisky-making heritage. Laid down in December 1974 and matured for nearly five decades, this extraordinary single malt was repeatedly selected to continue aging—an exceptional honor that speaks to its remarkable balance, structure, and long-term promise.

Finished in a combination of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, the whisky achieves a rare harmony between Glen Scotia’s signature coastal character and deep, indulgent sherry richness. Layers of dried fruit, treacle sweetness, warming spice, and maritime salinity intertwine seamlessly, resulting in a whisky of immense depth, elegance, and historical significance.
