Campbeltown was once a thriving malt whisky region of no fewer than 34 distilleries – no mean feat for a small and remote settlement at the bottom of the long Kintyre peninsula. Now only three producers remain, but they make up for their paucity by producing five distinctive malt whiskies between them.
Campbeltown’s whisky-making fame endured the length of the 1800s, and even after its 34 distilleries were all but halved in number by a slump in the 1850s, its distinctive style was still highly prized at the dawn of the 20th century.
What followed was a catastrophic fall from grace, brought about by a number of factors, including improved transportation links to the rival distilleries of the remote north, and a decline in quality as unscrupulous distillers cut corners and churned out mass-produced rotgut.
Typical Character and style of Campbeltown: Brine, Smoke, Wet Wool, Toffee, Vanilla
