Glen Scotia 12 Years Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 4

The Fourth Chapter in a Folklore Series

Glen Scotia has unveiled the Glen Scotia 12 Years Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 4, the newest addition to its Icons of Campbeltown series. The series pairs each limited bottling with a figure from Campbeltown's folklore, giving every release a distinct identity within the distillery's broader range. This fourth expression continues that pattern, following earlier releases that drew on the region's legends.

Each Icons of Campbeltown release has carried its own ABV and cask profile, and Release No. 4 follows that approach, bottled at 53.8% ABV. The series has established itself as a regular part of Glen Scotia's limited output, with each bottling treated as a standalone chapter rather than a rehash of the last.

A Family of Legends on Spiritory

Release No. 4 joins several earlier Icons of Campbeltown bottlings already in the Spiritory catalog. The Glen Scotia 14 Years Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 2 The Dragon and the Glen Scotia 12 Years Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 3 The Wulver sit alongside it in the same series, each named for a different piece of local lore.

Beyond the Icons series, the distillery's wider range is also represented on the platform. The Glen Scotia 25 Years Old Classic Campbeltown Malt, the Glen Scotia Campbeltown Harbour, the Glen Scotia 7 Years Old Campbeltown Malts Festival 2026 Limited Edition, the Glen Scotia 11 Years Old Society Edition 2025, the Glen Scotia 25 Years Old, and the Glen Scotia 21 Years Old Limited Edition round out the distillery's presence on the platform, spanning standard releases and limited bottlings alike.

Bottled at Cask Strength

The expression is bottled at 53.8% ABV, a strength that sits above the 40% to 46% range common to Glen Scotia's standard core releases. The higher ABV reflects the limited edition positioning of the Icons series, where the distillery has room to bottle at a strength closer to the cask.

The Glen Scotia 12 Years Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 4 is the fourth and oldest release in a series that pairs limited bottlings with the folklore of Campbeltown.

As a 12 year old single malt, Release No. 4 carries the oldest stated age of any bottling in the Icons of Campbeltown series so far. The earlier Release No. 2 carried a 14 Years Old age statement, while Release No. 3, like this new bottling, was 12 Years Old, so the new release shares its age with its immediate predecessor.

A Limited Addition to the Range

As a limited edition release within the Icons of Campbeltown series, Release No. 4 is positioned as a collectible bottling rather than a permanent part of the distillery's core range. The series has previously drawn attention for its thematic approach, with each bottle referencing a distinct piece of Campbeltown's cultural heritage.

The Glen Scotia 12 Years Old Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 4 is available on Spiritory.
