### About Glen Scotia Distillery
Founded in 1832, Glen Scotia is one of the few remaining distilleries in Campbeltown, once hailed as the 'Whisky Capital of the World.' Despite facing closures and re-openings throughout its history, it has seen energetic releases since being acquired by the Loch Lomond Group in 2014. It is known for its classic Campbeltown briny character and rich body.
Furthermore, Ashley Smith, known for developing numerous limited releases, has been appointed as the new Master Blender. The distillery has also revamped its heart—the mash tun—by creating a full replica based on the original 1832 blueprints to ensure the transmission of traditional flavors to the next generation.
