Portrait: What makes the Glen Scotia 12 year old Icons of Campbeltown No. 3 - The Wulver Release special

Forget everything you think you know about wolves. This one doesn't eat grandmothers, doesn't have a weird pigtail fetish like certain fairytale characters - and instead of skulking through the woods, he'd probably rather be chilling on the pier in Campbeltown with a fishing rod in one paw and a dram in the other.

Welcome to the third installment in Glen Scotia's legendary Icons of Campbeltown series: The Wulver Release. Inspired by a Scottish mythical creature that looks like a werewolf on vacation - but with considerably better manners. Half wolf, half man, a true gentleman. According to legend, the Wulver lived in a cave in the forest, fishing peacefully by day and anonymously distributing fresh fish to the needy at night. The Robin Hood of the Highlands, only with fur instead of arrows.

And now? Now, as a likeable fur-wearer, he adorns the label of a limited edition bottling - unpeated, aged for nine months in former tawny port casks, not chill-filtered, no colorings, but with plenty of character (and bite - a robust 51.7% ABV cask strength).

Of course, this series isn't just about mystical hybrids, but about the Campbeltown Cross - a Celtic landmark full of stories, carved in stone and now interpreted in a fluid way. And just as Wulver used to place fish on windowsills, Glen Scotia now delivers whiskies to your door. With a little less smell, but more style.

Conclusion: The Wulver Release isn't a whisky for fear-mongers - it's for quiet heroes, story collectors, and people with a heart for hairy legends. So, the next time you hear a quiet knock at night... it might just be the delivery man with a bottle of Glen Scotia.

Tasting Notes: This is how the Glen Scotia 12 year old Icons of Campbeltown No. 3 - The Wulver Release tastes like

• Nose: Invitingly fruity with a full load of red fruits and wild berries. This is accompanied by aromas of dark chocolate and a hint of oak from the bourbon maturation. A fine maritime breeze resonates in the background - typical Campbeltown, subtle but unmistakable.
• Palate: Smooth yet intense. Ripe berries dominate the first impression, accompanied by sweet hints of dried fruits and velvety chocolate. The port wine cask maturation gives the whisky a pleasant depth and elegant sweetness without overpowering it. The maritime influence remains subtly present and ensures balance.
• Finish: Long and warming with lasting fruitiness and fine tannins. The chocolate notes linger, as does the memory of salty sea air - a finish that tells stories and keeps the spirit of the Wulver legend alive.
