New This Week: Glen Scotia’s New Age Statements & Kilchoman’s 2007 Oloroso Rarity

Glen Scotia Launches Age-Statement Trio

Glen Scotia's new core range trio is more than a product drop—it's a brand play with intent.

The releases include a 21-year-old (ex-bourbon and PX sherry), a 25-year-old (refill bourbon), and a bold 30-year-old limited to just 500 bottles globally.

For years, Glen Scotia has been the "quiet Campbeltown one"—always respected, rarely hyped. This trio doesn't just raise its profile. It raises expectations.

The 21 delivers sweetness and maritime tension in equal measure. The 25 leans into subtlety with vanilla and coastal herbaceousness. And the 30? That's for those who believe complexity is a slow burn, not a fireworks show.

The truth is, these aren't collector bait. They're proof points—evidence that Glen Scotia belongs in the top tier, not on the "one day I'll try that" list.

Kilchoman Offers a 2007 Oloroso Single Cask

And then there's Kilchoman's 2007 Oloroso Sherry Single Cask—a big, brooding, peat-and-sherry standoff bottled exclusively for the UK.

At 56.2% ABV, it's not trying to charm you. It's daring you to keep up.

Peat fans will recognize the classic Islay Whisky Kilchoman structure—clean, coastal, unapologetically Islay—but here, the Oloroso adds dark fruit, balsamic weight, and a nuttiness that turns the whole thing into a nightcap with an edge.

Don't get me wrong—it's not for everyone. But that's what makes it matter. It's confident in its niche. And in a landscape full of cask experiments that feel more like marketing than maturation, this one has a soul.

If you find a bottle, take your time. This isn't a pour—it's a conversation.

Let us know which one you end up pouring first — or better yet, tag us in your next dram over on X. 

Cheers,
