Campbeltown Whisky

In the early 20th century Campbeltown was the undoubted home of Scotch Whisky with over 30 distilleries just in the town alone. Sadly due to transport problems and changing tastes almost all of them closed by the mid 20th century. A region that produces wonderful oily, smoky whiskies with well defined hints of the sea. There is a resurgence now in the area with a new distillery being built and also whiskies such as Springbank, Longrow, Kilkerran, Glen Scotia and Hazelburn returning to the marketplace.
