'ICONS OF CAMPBELTOWN' SERIES
A celebration of The Campbeltown market cross
- a community meeting point for storytelling - each
release in this annual five-part series takes its
inspiration from the series of saints and beasts
carved into the cross' face. On the left arm of the
cross, Saint Michael backed by an army of supporters
heroically slays a fire-breathing dragon with his
spear. Glen Scotia has partnered with celebrated
artist, Joel Holtzman (Lucasfilm, Marvel, Disney,
Macmillan) to bring each icon to life, while our
Master Blender has selected and crafted a whisky
fitting of each tale.

MEDIUM PEATED BAROLO
RED WINE CASK FINISH
Distillery fires were not an uncommon occurrence
in Campbeltown's Victorian whisky-making heyday,
claiming a number of our town's distilleries just as
dragons of children's tales devastated villages and
castles. However hard times certainly have a way of
pulling our distilling community together, much like
on December 17th, 1899 when Glen Scotia along with
heroic community members fought a fierce blaze
at Dalintober distillery and saved it from an early
fate. You'll find no living saints or dragon slayers in
Campbeltown is just a community that endures against
the odds by its prevailing spirit of unity.

As silky as dragon's fire and bold as our community spirit.
Decadently smoky with hints of fiery red candied fruits and berries,
The finish is long and has a dry spicey end note.
A subtle maritime salinity leaves no question which distillery
this limited edition hails from.
