Production of the 15 Years Old by Glen Scotia

The production of the 15 Years Old - Glen Scotia is based on meticulously selected Scottish barley malt. This exquisite whisky is crafted through several steps. First, the barley is soaked and germinated, initiating the conversion of starch into sugar. Next, the malt is dried in traditional distilleries over peat fires, imparting a special smoky note to the malt. The subsequent distillation occurs in copper pot stills, enhancing the characteristic flavor of the original. After distillation, the whisky ages for 15 years in high-quality oak casks that were previously filled with bourbon or sherry. This long maturation process in a temperature-controlled storage facility lends the 15 Years Old its complex aromas and remarkable depth.
