Glen Scotia Campbeltown 1832 Single Malt [1000ML]

Description

What makes a Campbeltown whisky worth seeking out in Malaysia’s competitive single malt market?

Glen Scotia Campbeltown 1832 Single Malt represents one of Scotland’s rarest regional expressions, hailing from a peninsula that once housed over 30 distilleries but now claims just three active producers. This travel retail exclusive showcases an extra peated profile that delivers the sweet, smoky character Campbeltown is celebrated for. Unlike Highland expressions such as Deanston Virgin Oak or Speyside malts like Tomintoul 16 Years, this 1000ml bottling captures the maritime influence unique to Scotland’s forgotten whisky capital.
