Glen Scotia Unveils Latest in Icons of Campbeltown Series

September 29, 2026 Newsbars, Buy, Campbeltown, Directory., Glen Scotia, Marketing, Online, Single Malt, Whisky

Glen Scotia Unveils Penultimate Expression in Icons of Campbeltown Reries

Multi-award winning Campbeltown distillery, Glen Scotia, has revealed the fourth expression in its Icons of Campbeltown series, a five-part annual collection inspired by folklore tales of Scotland’s smallest whisky making region.

Glen Scotia Icons of Campbeltown Release No.4 is a limited-edition 12-year-old, unpeated single malt that pays homage to the Griffin, a legendary creature said to have been a guardian of Campbeltown’s harbour, whisky and bold character.

Campbeltown, once known as the whisky capital of the world in the Victorian era, is a town with mythical history carved into its streets. The Icons of Campbeltown series is inspired by the carvings of saints and beasts on Campbeltown’s 14th century market cross, which is shrouded in myth and lore.

Among the markings is a depiction of the Griffin – a half eagle, half lion. As the legend goes, the Griffin was a creature of strength, vigilance and protection which kept watch high above the harbour, guarding what Campbeltown valued most, its whisky.

Icons of Campbeltown Release No.4 was finished in the finest Vin Santo wine casks, bringing a rich honeyed sweetness layered with notes of dried apricot and sultana. Toasted almond and hazelnut add depth and warmth, while a gentle hint of cinnamon spice lingers on the palate. Underneath it all, Glen Scotia’s unmistakable coastal character soars through with the same quiet confidence the series has traced through each release so far.

**Ashley Smith, master blender at Glen Scotia, said:** “Our small town has so many exceptional stories to tell, and The Icons of Campbeltown series brings this incredible folklore to life.

“The Griffin stood watch over Campbeltown for hundreds of years, and that’s exactly how I think of our distillery team, as the guardians of Glen Scotia’s whisky. Every cask that leaves here has been shaped by people protecting a character that has come to be loved all over the world, through skill built up over generations.
“For this release, I wanted a cask that would truly complement that character, so we finished the whisky in Vin Santo casks. They’ve brought a honeyed sweetness and dried fruit, with toasted almond and warming cinnamon on the finish, with our distinctive coastal salt character anchoring it all.”

To mark the launch, Glen Scotia is offering the chance to win a trip to Campbeltown when purchasing Icons of Campbeltown Release No. 4 through its website*. During this once in a lifetime experience, the winner will meet the team, the guardians of Glen Scotia, explore the distillery, taste the whisky in the place that shaped it, and discover the people, craftsmanship and community spirit behind the town’s big Campbeltown character where it was born.

Icons of Campbeltown Release No.4 is bottled at batch strength, 53.8% ABV, non-chill filtered and natural in colour. It retails at £80 and is available now from Glen Scotia’s website and specialist retailers in the UK and globally.

Glen Scotia has continued to work with artist Joel Holtzman on the series’ artwork. Holtzman’s previous work includes projects for Disney, Marvel and Lucasfilm.

Loch Lomond Whiskies Unveils 31 Year Old Single Malt

September 9, 2026 Newsbars, Buy, Directory., Loch Lomond, Marketing, Online, Shop, Single Malt, Whisky

Loch Lomond Whiskies Unveils Prestigious 31 Year Old Single Malt in the Waypoint Series

The expression is the oldest peated whisky ever released by the distiller

Loch Lomond Whiskies has unveiled Waypoint 31 Year Old, the latest and most prestigious expression in its coveted Waypoint Series – a collection of single malt whiskies inspired by the distillery’s iconic setting on the banks of Loch Lomond and its enduring spirit of exploration.

Available globally from 1 September, Waypoint 31 Year Old is the third and oldest single malt in the series, and the oldest peated expression ever released by Loch Lomond Distillery. This highly exclusive release is limited to just 2,600 bottles worldwide and has an RRP of £750.

Waypoint 31 Year Old joins Waypoint 16 Year Old and Waypoint 17 Year Old in the collection. The latest release celebrates the rugged and rewarding trail between Inversnaid and Inverarnan on the north-east shores of Loch Lomond. One of the most challenging sections of the West Highland Way, the route follows the lochside through a landscape of serene beauty, iconic landmarks and abundant wildlife.

Crafted using Loch Lomond Whiskies’ signature straight neck stills, the single malt was matured in three types of ex-Bourbon American Oak casks before being finished for 12 months in Tawny Port pipes. While its maturation journey is significant, the character of the distillate remains at its heart, creating a superbly balanced peated single malt with notes of dark chocolate, raspberry and cedarwood. The whisky has already received international acclaim, earning an outstanding 99/100 score at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a Gold medal at the International Spirits Challenge.

The exceptional whisky is presented in an etched, handcrafted wooden case featuring an internal copper tube and artwork by illustrator Brett Breckon. His fantastical interpretation follows the route from Inversnaid to Inverarnan, capturing its serene beauty, iconic landmarks and wildlife, with subtle nods to Loch Lomond’s whisky making and the flavour profile of the 31 Year Old woven throughout the scene.

Michael Henry, Master Blender at Loch Lomond Whiskies, said:

“As you follow this extraordinary trail from Inversnaid to Inverarnan, every mile becomes more challenging, but the sense of achievement and reward grows with it. The route takes you through one of Scotland’s most breathtaking landscapes and encourages you to keep exploring and discovering the wonders that surround you.

“That same spirit of exploration lies at the heart of our single malts. Through the Waypoint Series, we seek to bring the landscape and stories of Loch Lomond to life through whisky making, creating expressions that capture the excitement of discovering something truly exceptional.

“The Waypoint Series is a celebration of our namesake, Loch Lomond. It has been one of my favourite collections to work on, and it is a privilege to introduce this highly exclusive and prestigious 31 Year Old expression to the series.”

Loch Lomond is the only distillery in Scotland to house both traditional swan neck stills and its unique straight neck stills, making it one of the most innovative and inventive distilleries in the world. To create the Waypoint Series, Master Blender Michael Henry embarked on his own journey of discovery, bringing the stories of Loch Lomond to life through whisky making. The result is a collection of distinct single malts that capture the distillery’s signature style and its imaginative approach to flavour creation.

Michael continued: “Our unique whisky-making capability, led by our straight neck stills, allows us to create distinctly fruity spirit with our signature character of fruit, honey and soft smoke. Heavily peated whiskies are rare within our collection, so bringing our oldest ever peated single malt to bottle is a huge honour.

“After 31 years of maturation, the whisky has developed a deep, rich rose colour and remarkable layers of dark chocolate, raspberry, cedarwood and woodsmoke. What makes it particularly special is how clearly the character of the original distillate still shines through, despite its significant maturation journey. It is a whisky of real depth and complexity, while remaining unmistakably Loch Lomond.”

Loch Lomond Waypoint 31 Year Old is non-chill filtered, natural in colour and bottled at 44.1% ABV.

Loch Lomond Waypoint 31 Year Old will be available globally from selected specialist retailers from 1 September, with an RRP of £750.

Highland Distillery Tomatin Announce Landmark New Listings

Hidden Gem Highland Distillery Tomatin Continues Momentum With New Landmark Listings

More whisky lovers than ever can now find a bottle of Tomatin single malt whisky on their local shelf, as the Highland distillery marks a year of rapid growth across its grocery and convenience portfolio.

Capitalising on its credibility in the specialist whisky space, Tomatin has added a series of new landmark listings across grocery, convenience and the on-trade over the past 18 months, bringing the distillery’s light, soft and fruity Highland single malts to a wider audience.

The expansion includes the successful launch of two retail-exclusive expressions: Tomatin Double Cask, introduced in Tesco in April 2025, and Tomatin 10 Year Old, which launched in Waitrose in November 2025. Both were developed specifically for mainstream retail and are presented in new packaging featuring a wood-grain motif symbolising the natural tree rings found in oak, reflecting the distillery’s first-class wood policy.

The two new single malts offer accessible price points for retailers to diversify their range, without compromising on the distillery’s signature style and quality.

Tomatin Double Cask is now listed across more than 600 Tesco stores throughout the UK, increased from 380 at launch. It has also secured a listing with Booker Wholesale across 22 Scottish depots, extending its reach into the convenience and on-trade channels with potential to supply over 500 Premier convenience stores. The Booker partnership also gives Tomatin a platform to reach 14,000 members of the Booker on-trade club, significantly broadening the brand’s access to the channel.

Tomatin 10 Year Old has achieved listings across 200 Waitrose stores nationwide and a full estate listing at Booths, the premium grocery retailer in the north of England, across all 25 of its stores.

Both expressions were recognised in two of this year’s leading spirits competitions. At the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2026, Tomatin 10 Year Old won Gold and Tomatin Double Cask took Silver, while both single malts also secured Silver at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2026.

Gordon Hynd, UK Sales Director at Tomatin, said: “The past 18 months have demonstrated the genuine appetite for quality Highland single malt in the grocery, on-trade and convenience sectors. Building listings in Tesco, Waitrose, Booker and Booths speaks to the versatility of our two new single malt expressions, and as a key strategic priority for the business, we are continuing to gain significant traction in the channel.

“The Booker partnership reaches independent retailers through 22 Scottish depots and provides considerable access to the on-trade, meaning Tomatin whisky is now within reach of an entirely new set of customers on Scottish soil. Booths champions quality and provenance and is a natural home for Tomatin. A full estate listing across all 25 stores is a real statement of intent in the north of England.

“At Tomatin, what matters most has never changed: exceptional cask management, the craft of our people, and making single malts that are genuinely worth seeking out. Getting our whiskies in front of more people, in more places, is how we bring that to life.”

The distillery’s grocery momentum sits alongside wider distribution growth. Tomatin 12 Year Old Triple Cask has also recently been listed with LWC Wholesale, the UK’s fastest-growing independent wholesaler, strengthening on-trade presence for the expression as the brand’s new core range packaging rolls out globally.

Tomatin Double Cask is available from Tesco, priced at £37.75 for a 70cl bottle and through Booker Wholesale, and Tomatin 10 Year Old is available from Waitrose and Booths priced at £42 for a 70cl bottle.

Cù Bòcan Unveils a First-Ever New Peated Scotch

June 1, 2026 Newsbars, Buy, Cask, Cù Bòcan, Directory., Malt Whisky, Marketing, Online, Scotch, Wine

Cù Bòcan Unveils First-Ever Peated Scotch Matured in Ice Wine Cask

Experimental single malt brand Cù Bòcan is breaking new ground in the industry, producing the first known peated Scotch to be matured in ice wine casks.

Crafted annually at Tomatin Distillery in the Scottish Highlands during the cold winter months, Cù Bòcan’s limited edition ‘Creations’ series is a celebration of exclusively peated whiskies with unique cask combinations, inspired by the lightly-peated spirit historically produced at the distillery over 100 years ago.

Known for its experimental and innovative approach to maturation, Cù Bòcan has unlocked a new level of intrigue with the release of Creation #8.

This latest release explores a never seen before dual cask maturation, using a combination of rare Canadian ice wine casks and high-quality Spanish Verdejo casks, a pairing which results in a unique flavour profile of fruit salad sweets, lime zest, earthy smoke and soft oak spice.

Ice wine is a sweet dessert wine made from grapes that are left to freeze on the vine before harvesting. The grapes are pressed at around –7°C, when the water inside has crystalised, leaving a small amount of highly concentrated sugary juice. For this expression, Cù Bòcan used ice wine casks from family-owned Canadian winery, Pillitteri, where cold winters produce rich, sweet and tropical flavoured ice wines.

Verdejo, a white wine from Spain’s Rueda region is known for its fresh, zesty and herbal character. The Verdejo casks used to mature Cù Bòcan Creation #8 were sourced from the renowned French-owned winery Belondrade. Reflecting Cù Bòcan’s experimental nature, the Creation #8 spirit was filled into the casks just weeks after they were emptied.

The 18-year-old spirit from the ice wine casks brings notes of apricot jam, candied peach and pineapple syrup to the Creation #8 single malt, alongside its unmistakable light, oak spice, while the Verdejo casks have allowed the bold citrus, herbal and grassy characteristics of the wine to be expressed in the 16-year-old spirit derived from these casks.

Jamie Muir, Distillery Manager at Tomatin, said: “Our Cù Bòcan Creations series is all about going beyond convention, creating genuinely distinctive whiskies that excite and intrigue.

“Marking the oldest release in the series to date, Cù Bòcan Creation #8 is a pioneering single malt, marrying our gently peated spirit with the bold sweetness of Canadian ice wine casks, something we believe has never been done before with a peated Scotch.

“Equally the Verdejo casks and the experimental decision to fill them shortly after emptying, have also introduced a vibrant citrus and herbal dimension, the blend of these two cask types make Creation #8 a truly surprising dram.”

Cù Bòcan’s Creation #8 packaging debuts a striking new colourway of electric purple and neon green, reflecting the individuality of the spirit within its bespoke twisted bottle. Its engraved contours echo both the wisp of Cù Bòcan’s signature smoke and the staves of the casks that shaped it.

Bottled at 46% ABV, Creation #8 is natural in colour and non-chill filtered. It is available to purchase from today (20th May) on Tomatin Distillery’s website and from specialist whisky retailers in the UK and worldwide, priced at £45. It is limited to only 3,600 bottles.
