The Resilient Spirit of Campbeltown

Despite its decline in the early 20th century, Campbeltown remains a cherished whisky region, renowned for its robust and often peated whiskies. The surviving distilleries—Springbank, Glen Scotia, and the revived Glengyle—offer a range of flavors that reflect the unique character of this coastal town on the Kintyre peninsula.

Iconic Campbeltown Distilleries:

– Springbank: Known for producing three unique malts—Springbank (medium-peated), Longrow (richly peated), and Hazelburn (non-peated and triple-distilled).
– Glen Scotia: Light and grassy, providing a contrast to the smokier malts of its neighbors.
– Glengyle: Brought back to life in 2004 by Springbank’s owners, its single malt, Kilkerran, offers a modern take on Campbeltown’s historic style.
