Glen Scotia's Campbeltown Malts Festival Edition 2026 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is crowned the Tastemaster of the Global Spirits Masters competition.
Glen Scotia's Campbeltown Malts Festival Edition 2026 Single Malt Scotch Whisky was named the annual Tastemaster at the Global Spirits Masters competition in the United Kingdom. The 107.8-proof, seven-year-old scotch was selected from a field of 39 Master-level bottles by six panels of independent experts. Judges praised the whisky for its sophisticated profile, which features notes of vanilla fudge, ripe red berries, dried clove, and coastal brine. Despite its relatively young age, the expression was noted for its complexity, particularly the interplay between its bourbon and Ruby port cask finishes. While the award-winning bottle is a UK-exclusive release for the Campbeltown Malts Festival, other expressions from the same distillery are available in the United States. Specifically, the 12-Year-Old and 15-Year-Old single malts are widely available and priced under $100, offering American consumers a way to experience the quality of the historic Scottish whisky region.
