Campbeltown Loch Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Campbeltown Loch is a distinctive, maritime-infused blended malt—a harmonious mix of rich sweetness, coastal salinity, and gentle smoke. With its inviting blend of fruit, spice, and subtle peat, it’s both accessible and characterful—a great introduction to the Campbeltown style. Origins & Composition Vatted and bottled by Springbank Distillers, the whisky combines malts from all three active Campbeltown distilleries: Springbank, Glen Scotia, and Glengyle. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Aromatics (Nose) The aroma opens with buttery malt and a distinctive sea-salt brine, complemented by ginger loaf, pecan pie, and a touch of vanilla sweetness. Palate & Texture Creamy and smooth. The taste reveals layers of salted caramel, date syrup, crystallized sugar, coffee, and coastal smoke, rounded out by warm toffee and gentle oak spice. Finish The finish brings forward peat smoke that builds gradually and ends with a touch of leather and faint flinty minerality—like walking along a pebble beach.
