Campbeltown Whisky
Campbeltown Loch - Blended Single Malt Whisky
ABV 46%
A blend of Springbank (Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn), Kilkerran and Glen Scotia. Bottled at Springbank Distillery. Ex-bourbon and ex-sherry matured.
Nose : Soft stone fruits, and honey with zesty notes of lemon and just a touch of salty brine.
Palate: Slight oily mouth feel. Herbaceous hints creeping in beneath sweet vanilla caramel and juicy baked fruit. Salinity and sweet spice bring balance, with hints of peat smoke.
Finish: Medium finish with balance of sweetness, salty and a subtle hint of smoke.
Rating: 9.4/10
You'd expect a blend to be good, because frankly you're mixing the best of what's available (which in Campbeltown's case is a wealth of riches). But this is truly excellent. Well balanced but complex in flavour.

Glen Scotia - Campbeltown Harbour
40% ABV
Lightly peated and matured in 100% first fill ex-bourbon casks
Nose: A blend of sweet, salty and peat smoke aromas. Sweetness coming predominantly from notes of barley sugar and caramel and salt coming from hints of a costal breeze.
Palate: Similar to the nose, a balance of mild sweet smoke and barley sugar. The salty notes are less prominent.
Finish: Medium to long finish with mellowed dry peat smoke.
Rating: 7.9/10
A nice Campbeltown whisky if not a little simple in it's flavour profile. It is balanced but lacks significant depth when compared to other Glen Scotia releases. However, for whatis often less than £40 this a fair whisky at a fair price.
Hazelburn 10 year old
46% ABV
Ex-Bourbon Cask
Unpeated
Nose
Think tropical vibes — baked pineapple 🍍, lemon sherbet 🍋, honeycomb 🍯, and a zing of dried orange peel 🍊. Light, delicate, and seriously inviting.
Palate
A perfect balance of sweet and savoury. Juicy green apples 🍏 meet a soft vegetal twist, wrapped in creamy notes of pastel de nata and custard creams 🍮. Dessert lovers, this one's for you.
Finish
Smooth and satisfying. Hints of salted caramel 🧂, warming ginger, toasted coconut 🥥, and a whisper of minerality. Earthy elegance in every sip.
Rating: 7.5/10
It's good, but expensive. Worth a try but there are better Campbeltown options.

Rating: 9.4/10
