CAMPBELTOWN
MALTS
Campbeltown
Region is nestled between the Highlands and the Island regions on the northwest
coast of Scotland. A century ago Campbeltown was the heartland of
the whisky industry and famous as 'the capital of the whisky world' with more
than thirty active distilleries in the area but now has only three
operational distilleries.
Characteristics
include a defined dryness with a pungency, smoke and a solid salinity and tend
to be big-bodied, heavy with peaty beasts.
The tastes
have both the fruitiness of Lowland whisky and the salty brine flavour found in
Island whiskies.
The following are operational distilleries in the region:
