The Glen Scotia distillery is one of the smallest Scotch whisky distilleries but one of the big names in Campbeltown, the former whisky capital of the world. Glen Scotia distillery was founded in 1832 as Scotia Distillery. By 1835, it was one of almost 30 thriving distilleries in Campbeltown. Today, there are only three Campbeltown whisky distilleries left, and the enduring Glen Scotia Distillery is one of them.

“Glen Scotia has stayed true to its history – the original mashtun, the stillroom and the dunnage warehouse have been lovingly maintained and are still in working use today” says Iain McAlister, Master Distiller
