Campbeltown Whisky Region: Small Town, Big Flavour – and a Wild Past

🔹 Welcome to Part 4 of my Scottish Whisky Regions series! In this video, we explore Campbeltown—the once-booming whisky capital of the world. Discover its rise through the 1800s, its near-collapse, and how just a handful of distilleries are now keeping its bold, maritime spirit alive. I’ll also recommend an affordable, flavour-packed dram that represents the region beautifully 🥃 Something rich, oily, and slightly briny, with that classic Campbeltown funk—without the premium price tag. A perfect example of the flavours from one of whisky’s most characterful regions. 📍Want to learn more about Scotland’s whisky regions? Catch up on the rest of the series on the channel!
