However we make more than whisky at Glen Scotia. In the courtyard you'll locate two hives, where our resident bees create their tasty honey.
Glen Scotia has actually always created two styles of whisky-- peated and also non peated. Generally our peated whisky is transformed for a duration of 6 weeks annually.
For many years the top quality of our whisky has actually expanded, with longer fermentation and vatting of the malted barley, as well as a slower as well as more cautious purification. But generally the procedure has stayed the same. Although we no more malt our own barley, we buy in Scottish malted barley to our precise spec in order to maintain the true Glen Scotia character with our distilling process.
