Description

Welcome to Episode 3 of Whiskey High IQ, where Brian Bailie explores Campbeltown, Scotland's hidden gem of Scotch whisky. Once the "whiskey capital of the world" with over 30 distilleries, Campbeltown now houses only three—Glen Scotia, Springbank, and Kilkerran—each known for distinct maritime and briny profiles. The episode features a tasting of Glen Scotia 15, a single malt aged in bourbon and refill oak casks, noted for its malty, fig-like nose, subtle spice, and medium finish. Brian highlights Campbeltown's rich history, quality decline during the Prohibition era, and resurgence with dedicated distilleries preserving tradition. The Glen Scotia 15 earns a solid 3 rating as Brian's evolving palate finds new appreciation for this Scotch. Cheers and Sláinte Mhath!
