SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Glen Scotia Unlocked No 2 5 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

  • Cask Number: 872

Glen Scotia Unlocked No 1 7 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

 

Release No.2 is the latest in our exclusive Glen Scotia Unlocked series, available only to Unlocked members. 

Matured entirely in a first-fill bourbon cask, this 5-year-old Single Malt showcases the signature Glen Scotia style, allowing the distillate’s character to shine. Limited to just 249 bottles, it bursts with Campbeltown flavour—fresh pear and apple lead into creamy coconut sweetness, all wrapped in our unmistakable maritime salinity.

Glen Scotia Unlocked is a community for our loyal fan base and true whisky enthusiasts. As part of our community, members will have exclusive access to Unlocked releases, early access to limited edition releases, live tastings with our distillery team and behind-the-scenes stories from our Campbeltown home, Glen Scotia distillery.

Release No.2 showcases our distillery character and signature style through first-fill bourbon maturation—the ideal cask choice for a younger whisky. These casks impart layers of sweet vanilla and toffee, complementing the fruity distillate from our long fermentation process. Crisp apple and pear on the nose evolve into exotic coconut on the palate, with a sweet almond character on the finish. The ever-present maritime influence creates a robust and full-bodied profile.

In 2021, Master Blender Ashley Smith bottled Cask 872 when it hit it’s sweet spot, but the release was postponed due to the COVID lockdowns. Ashley kept it by, waiting for the perfect moment to share it with whisky lovers.
