Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Campbeltown is a historic Royal town and has been occupied for over 8000 years. Once home to a large fishing fleet, there were also no less than 34 distilleries established here during the 19th century.

However by 1925 and the closing of Reichlachan Distillery, this left Springbank and Glen Scotia as the only 2 remaining distilleries.

The 25th March 2004 Saw the opening of Mitchells Glengyle Distillery this increased the number of distilleries in Campbeltown to three, allowing the town to legitimately claim it place amongst the great whisky producing regions.

Home of the Glengyle, Glen Scotia and Springbank Whisky Distilleries. Campbeltown is infamous for the extraordinary high number of public houses and churches per capita.

It must be that the citizens having consumed one of Scotland’s best drams, they feel the need to give thanks to the almighty for these whiskies excellent qualities.
