Theoretically, “Loch” in Scots means lake, but Scots are famously down-to-earth and not ones for strict labels. Thus, “Loch” can take on other meanings. In this case, Campbeltown Loch isn’t a lake but a sea inlet between Davaar Island and the bay where the town of Campbeltown is located. This “gulf” lends its name to a blended malt whisky produced by Springbank, which includes the five malts from the three local distilleries.
Campbeltown Loch is a blended malt Scotch whisky comprising single malts from Springbank, Longrow, Hazelburn, Kilkerran, and Glen Scotia, the only malts currently produced in Campbeltown. These whiskies are matured in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks before being blended and bottled. This whisky is non-chill filtered, with no added color, and bottled at 46% ABV.
