Campbeltown was once one of the most prolific regions in Scotland, sadly prohibition affected the area, and until recently, there were only two distilleries producing whisky. Campbeltown sits on the mull of Kintyre, and the single malt whiskies from the region reflect this with a slight coastal character. They are known for their dryness and often for their pungency. Some of the distilleries in this region use peat as well.
