As the final drams were poured at the 2026 Campbeltown Malts Festival, we’ve been reflecting on two fantastic days spent in the very best company.

As always, we raised the bar, transforming our distillery and courtyard into a whisky wonderland filled with unique experiences, insightful talks, exceptional tastings and some of the finest live music. This year also saw the return of our popular cask strength tastings in the heart of the courtyard, giving festival-goers the opportunity to sample something truly special.

Events like these simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible people who bring them to life. A special thank you to Ashley Smith, Master Blender, for hosting our renowned Dunnage Tastings; Gary Mills, Global Brand Ambassador, for showcasing our Festival Release during the Deconstructed Festival Sessions; and Michael Henry, Loch Lomond Group Master Blender, for leading our new Big Campbeltown Character session.

We’d also like to thank the entire Glen Scotia team for their passion and dedication throughout the festival, from hosting Distillery Tours and Whisky History Walking Tours to pouring drams at our tasting bar and ensuring every guest enjoyed a memorable experience.

And finally, a huge thank you to We.R.Soul and The Rollin' Drones for keeping the courtyard buzzing with energy and the spirits high throughout the festival.

The Festival wouldn’t be what it is without all the whisky lovers and enthusiasts who joined us from all around the globe. From all of our Glen Scotia team, we want to thank you for what has been another fantastic year in our hometown. The planning commences for next year, we hope to see you there. Slainte!
