Campbeltown is one of the most remote harbour towns in Scotland, and today, only a handful of whisky fans make the long drive down the Kintyre peninsula. In fact, some remain unaware that Campbeltown is one of the five Scotland whisky regions, albeit the smallest.
In the 19th century, Campbeltown was the whisky capital of the world. The sky was the limit and the idea of a Scotch whisky industry without Campbeltown at its forefront was unthinkable. Over 30 whisky distilleries chose to open in this small town. However, only three distilleries remain open today, these include Springbank, Glen Scotia and Glengyle (bottled as Kilkerran).
Join me as I spend the next few days exploring the Campbeltown distilleries and learn about what happened to this town that once lived and breathed whisky.

If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!

ive heard people say the springbank 15 is worth the extra $$ over the 10
@@echinacea100 I'll need to give it a try sometime!
Nice, but I'll stay with Laphroiag quarter cask. Nearby.
Yep I like the flavor,not! But some American bourbon whiskey has more character if you interested in the Kentucky as a full length feature expose' and you can taste the 100$ a shot stuff I've never, but had a good aged wild turkey that was up there! ,But my last comment on Scotch is the highest quality you won't taste ,only feel it ha ha
Glen Scotia double cask is the only one I’ve tried. I really want to try Springbank.
Your face lights up when you get a new glass and a wee whisky 😁
It's so exciting, I have too many dram glasses now haha!
As does mine 🤷♂
Yes, so adorable :)
I'm Japanese whisky lover. And I will visit Campbelltown in late July. I learned about Campbelltown through this video. And I was surprised to Ms.RUTH lived in Japan. I'm also very happy that you mentioned Masataka Taketsuru in this video because I love to drink NIKKA whisky.
I look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future!!
A fantastic tour of Campbeltown and their rich history. Amazing seeing where the old distilleries once stood and cheers to Campbeltown whisky growing again!
I know, the future looks bright 🥃
Hi Ruth, just subscribed to your channel. I am a Filmmaker vom Austria and my channel is mostly about Whisky (and in German)so obviously I came across your videos that I really enjoy. The first glas in the video is a so called CUPITA while the second one seems to be a Glen Cairn glas. They both follow the same idea, you fill them up to their broadest diameter so the surface is as big as could be. The alcohol starts to vaporize and the aromas gather in the glass due to its narrowing to the top rather than floating into the air.
Keep on going, you have such a nice approach. So I will travel along from now on. Cheers.
You and Ruth could do a video when you visit Scotland.🎉
@@user-mu4xn3vd3w I‘d love to but she does a great job already anyways and I love her style. But never say never…
私は、規模は小さいけど誠実に誇りと心意気を持って製造にあたる酒蔵が作るスコッチ、日本酒、焼酎などが好きです。何故かロマンを感じるのです。
Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey
Campbeltown Loch, och-aye
Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey
I would drink you dry
Now Campbeltown Loch is a beautiful place
But the price of the whiskey is grim
How nice it would be if the whiskey was free
And the Loch was filled up to the brim
I will be singing that all night now!
Ruth, I suspect you might not realise what a great film that was? It’s a lovely summary of whisky in the Wee Toon and I reckon interesting for non-dram folk as well as enthusiasts and industry people like myself. 👏👏👏
Thank you! This means a lot coming from someone in the industry. I really enjoyed making it 🥃
I'm sure I told you I was a Bank Manager in Campbeltown in the early 2000's and I counted 28 local businesses that had employees that closed down around that time not an account of my decisions. I was the personal Manager and the Business Manager was the Manager of the Bank in Aberdeenshire when I was a boy growing up so it was good to have a friendly face so far away from home.. The largest closure was a textile business in the name of Jaeger which had a big impact on the town with regards unemployment . I was aware of a third Distillery opening up but I didn't realise thew importance of that decision. That is good news for the town of another three distilleries being set up. There was a growth industry set up at that time which was a Danish company called Vestas which was a wind turbine manufacturer but that has since closed as the cost of transportation was prohibitive once the local wind farms were completed. I never did any of the tours but I am not sure there were tours done at the time. When I left Campbeltown my staff gave me a bottle of Springbank with a personalised label. The local Round Table had an employee of Cadenheads set up a Whisky tasting for me as a leaving present. I am not sure that was the best move as I had to drive to the Isle of Lewis the next day. During my time there some of the older generation told me stories of Campbeltown in its hey day it really was a bustling metropolis. It was a quaint wee town but it can be lively on a weekend night especially if there were forces personnel in the town and pubs. I look forward to the next installment as usual.
Hello John! Yes I remember you mentioning before that you used to live and work in Campbeltown. Thanks for sharing more of your personal experiences in Campbeltown? Have you still got the bottle of Springbank or is it long gone? 😂
@@ruthaisling Long gone.
I went there recently and it was a depressing dead little burgh.
@@sdrawkcabUK I believe Campbeltown will have a turn around. They are planning to build 2-3 three new distilleries there within the next couple of years. Should have a positive impact on employment and tourism.
Hi Ruth: I read through some of the comments. A few are like short novels. People are getting excited about this video, and I understand why. You so have a flare for telling a story and keeping everyones attention. Needless to say, your tasting with the Dram glasses is my favorite part. It is a joy to see you so satisfied. You're amazing. Please remain safe.
Oh thank you so much 😊
What I love best about your videos is you take us to places I can only dream of visiting. Thank you for sharing these wonderful places with us.
Thanks very much, I'm glad you can travel through the videos!
Loved the video Ruth. I had to pause it to pour a dram from the bottle I have of a Campbeltown blended malt! Definitely added to the enjoyment!
That sounds like a good accompaniment!
It's so wonderful that you visited Campbeltown! I love these video so much. I'm Looking forward to the next video featuring Scotland. There is so beautiful everywhere in Scotland !
More to come! Thanks for watching 🏴
ルースさんのスコッチウイスキー愛が感じられる動画でした。キャンベルタウンの栄枯盛衰、そして将来への展望まで楽しく拝見しました。😺
My father was Hedley Wright, cousin. I work for a medical device company and was being visited by the European manager. As a welcome gift to Scotland, I gave him a bottle ofSpringbank 15 Year Old Single Malt. Finding this bottle was very difficult and when approaching the distillery for direction on finding this bottle, I was put in touch with a whiskey cellar in Edinburgh. As this is a rare whiskey with limited releases, the stock that was appointed to this distributor was already spoken for. The retailer suggested other whiskeys of equal quality however, I wanted to give my visitor one that had a family connection. Once the retailer realised this, he suddenly found one for me, as he was in fear of repercussions from Dr Hedley Wright. I really liked your coverage of the Campbelltown area and videos of your other travels. Thank you for doing them I find them very interesting., take care.
That’s a great story! Thank you for sharing it. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Rest In Peace Hedley, knew him well as, whilst I worked there, he was very active in supporting the distillery coming back to life in the 1980's.
Dear Ruth, you're my kind of girl. Loving peated whisky's just as I do. In my 70 years I've tried a lot , Canadian, Irish, Dutch, Japanese, a lot of Scottish and even Thai whisky (horrible) and the best ones come from your homecountry, Scotland!. While typing this, I'm enjoying a 12 year Auchentoshan. Love all your video's and reviews.
Haha sounds lovely! I'll avoid the Thai whiskies then! 😂
Its the most beautiful smile on Tiktok . Instantly makes a dull day bright and sunny again x
Thanks Chrism glad to hear you enjoy the videos!
I visited a Scottish whiskey distillery about 25 years ago with my then husband. The distillery offered a tasting to two men and two women. Male volunteers were easily found, but for women not so many. So I raised my finger and was selected. I tasted 5 nice whiskeys and got a glass of my preferred one. All at the end of the morning. I never needed a good lunch so much and later had an extended afternoon nap 😂😂😂.
😂I know the feeling!
Go on Ruth, That's the Spirit.
Campbeltown is a place very close to my heart. The first time I visited Scotland was on a Tarbert fishing boat which sailed across to Ballycastle (Norn Iron) to pick up our family and bring us there. I was 11 yrs old. It was 1962. My Dad was a BBC soccer commentator in NI and he was a big pal of his opposite number in Scotland and he originally hailed from the west coast where of course he knew everybody. Whisky would have had a part to play. Anyway, the crossing of the North Channel was dire, we were all as sick as parrots, we were pleased to enter Campbeltown Loch where thankfully the sea became a millpond. I have been back several times since then and have toured Springbank twice. The Ardshiel Hotel needs a mention, spectacular bar with unbelievable display of Scotch Whisky, also Golf at Machrihanish which is great, stunning views across to Islay and Jura. Love that place and loved your video.
Thanks David, that sounds like a rough crossing! I'd like to have a drink at the Ardshiel bar if I go back. I did visit the golf course in my Kintyre video that I posted last year.
Had my first taste of Springbank at their shop in Edinburgh during the Edinburgh festival. Bought a bottle and shared it ! No hangover! Fantastic. Warm, pure and slipped down nicely..
This was in the 80's. It is my favorite whisky of all time !
That sounds great, I find that single malt doesn't tend to give me any hangover!
Just to wish you and Ernie happy anniversary it's one year since your first video went out on RUclips 🎉🎉 keep making more great videos
Thank you for noticing!!
I visited Campbeltown last year. It was an impromptu detour as we found ourselves with extra time on our return to Glasgow after leaving Islay. Boy, am I glad that we found the Wee Toon! The quiet little town is beaming with charm! The architecture is stately and it's location on the Loch with Davaar Island looming in the distance seems something out of a movie! Whiskey lovers will appreciate that you can stay at Ardshiel hotel, a fine establishment loaded with the best selection of whiskey. Then walk to Springbank and all of the shops and restaurants in town. Islay is great but all of the distilleries are spread out, the roads are single track and laden with crater sized potholes. Getting on and off Islay can be challenging with weather effecting the ferry schedules. Meanwhile, one can drive to Campbeltown, enjoy Kintyre's beauty and stroll the streets without much effort! Campbeltown is a gem.
Wow! Sounds like you had an amazing time! Thanks for sharing your story!
Hi Ruth I just discovered your channel from your Euro Tunnel video. I'm in Australia but both my parents are from Europe (Sweden and Wales) Very interesting videos and you present them so well. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you so much, so glad you are enjoying the videos!
ウイスキーが好きなので一度は行ってみたいです。👍
One of my daughter’s boyfriends is a liquor salesman, and quite a connoisseur of American Bourbon whiskeys, whereas I’ve always preferred Single Malts. We used his set of dram glasses for a Bourbon tasting one evening, and I must say a proper glass allows one to appreciate the subtleties of flavor from one to the other, and I came away with a decided liking of the Elijah Craig Toasted Barrel Bourbon in very small quantities. I’ve learned over the years that a very good liquor is a treat, not a main course for me!
Scottish whiskey and Japanese whiskey are like brothers. Thanks to Ruth-san I learned more about the origins of Scottish whiskey. This was another great video. I would like to thank you for the whiskey.
スコットランドウィスキーと日本のウィスキーは兄弟みたいな仲ですね、ルースさんのお陰で詳しくスコットランドウィスキーの起源を知りました、今回も素晴らしい動画でした、感謝を込めてウィスキー代金に。
小川さん、こんにちは。ありがとうございます。ビデオを楽しんでいただき、ウイスキーについてより多くの情報を知っていただけてうれしいです。
Oh, and just saw your post on Curling Stones,
I am an elite curler and know what goes into making a great rock.
Another wonderful video. It was once said about the illicit distillers in the Campbelltown that they could make 10 shillings a week enough to keep a horse, a cow and a wife!
Love Glen Scotia whisky and just received their Campbeltown Festival 2024 offering.
A horse, a cow and a wife 😂
Very cool that they repurposed the old buildings ❤😊👍
They look great!
Springbank's my favourite - Hazelburn non peated, 10 year ❤ The tour was great!
This is professional quality stuff Ruth - brilliant!
Wow.. thank you!
This video was really enjoyable for me.
Springbank is one of my favorite whiskies and is known as the ‘perfume of malts.
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing!
Hi Ruth, I love your trip reports, keep it up !! Thank you
Thanks so much Wolfgang!
Ruth
I just now found your channel and I absolutely LOVE it!! I have shared this channel with everyone I know lol
You are incredibly brave.
The Bothy video just about did me in.
No way I could ever EVER do that!
I love to just live vicariously through your courageous and self sufficient videos. 🥰
I hope you will keep doing these!
Thank you so much!
Love love love!

Ruth what beautiful town n thanks for sharing it with me
Thanks for watching William!
I like a tulip shape glass ideally with a stem.
Hello from Campbeltown! Thanks for the vlog!
Are you from Campbeltown? Lucky you! Thanks so much for watching!
@@ruthaisling Not originally but I'm here now since lockdown. Been watching you a while now, can't believe I missed you! How funny! Brilliant job btw!
As usual, an informative v-log. You delve into the history of everywhere you go and make you realise that Scotland has a massive part in history.
PS. What time is the party!!!😂
Such a fun, information rich video. Your video persona is so likable and professional. Excellent compositions and story line. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.
Thank you! I was a bit worried it was a bit information-heavy this time, but I find the history of Campbeltown very interesting!
Wow I love that architecture. Stone work. Full of human hands. Beauty
So nice!
The all mighty created Whisky to Keep the Scotts from ruling the world! {JOKING!} They brought their trade to the new world where they fueled the rise of Moonshiners of the South. Cheers to My Ancestors!
Another great video Ruth, I would have happily watched another hour, I've always had a soft spot for the peninsula.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 🙏
Hi Ruth, great video, I remember loading tankers from a distillery in Airdrie to go to a boat in Ayr harbour which was bound for Japan. I love how all the distilleries are kept so neat and tidy, always freshly painted and grass trimmed.
That’s really interesting, thanks Colin 🙏
Thank you for the wonderful trip around Campelttowns whiskies distillerys look forward to a drink or two👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
What a history lesson about an area I have never sadly yet been to
Glad you enjoyed it. You should go!
I've never tried them, but will make it a point!
Thanks so much for your videos; your personality and enthusiasm make them simply superb. Scotland seems such a wonderful place.
Glad you like them! And thanks for watching.
Springbank is hard to find. As soon as it hits the shelves, it's gone. 😢 The Glen Scotia 15YO is one of my favorites.
Add some water to bring out more flavors and bring the ABV down.
Springbank has become a flippers choice.
I was last in Campbeltown in September 2021. It was great to explore the area and I was pleased to see the place on the up once again. The downside on the timing of my visit was that whisky tours were not fully back as there were still Covid restrictions. I'm a big fan of Glen Scotia whiskies, so was keen to do the tour there. Alas, only the shop was open. I hope to get back up there in the next few years.
You need to go back!
A wonderful video and a lovely Glen Scotia snifter glass too...marvelous. 😀
Glad you enjoyed it..I love the glass!
Another wonderful video and I do enjoy your wee tasting reviews it's making me want to revisit peated malts
You should! They are so good 🥃
Hi Ruth thanks for this interesting video.congratulations on the short history of Campbeltown. 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
That Springbank glass you have there looks very similar to the Glencairn glasses I drink my Scottish whisky from. The unique shape truly adds to the overall drinking appreciation and experience. -Kyle
That’s great to know!
Always enjoy your videos Ruth, but especially look forward to your whisky region/distillery tours. Thank you. Slainte'
Thanks so much, glad you enjoy the whisky videos!
My wife and I will be visiting Scotland for three weeks this August and your travel videos have been helpful. 🙏
Sunday Funday 😊 ❤hiya Ruth 👋😊
Hello!
Another great vidio Ruth !
Thank you so much 😊
Keep up the good work amazing content
Thanks so much!
what an epic small town!
Another fantastic vlog Ruth. The history and explanations you give are so very good and educational. Also along with the great camera work you give us a wonderful insight into the experience . Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comments.
Thanks so much for that! Very enjoyable!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🥃
Fond, lifelong memories of two visits for Campbeltown Whisky festivals. It is the centre of the universe as far as I'm concerned. And such friendly, approachable, if not eccentric, whisky makers. I *will* go back to that shop one day. Much of the Springbank offering in particular can be hard to get online. Get yourself a bottle of the Local Barley, or the 15yo Organic. Or a Longrow Red....
Cheers Ruth, I mean slàinte mhòr.
The festivals sound wonderful. I need to go to one! Thank you 🥃🙏
Excellent video. One of my bucket list things to do is tour Scotland and visit as many distilleries as I possibly can. Enjoy!!
You need to plan a trip!
Another fantastic and informative video. Thank you, Ruth.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ruth so enjoyed this episode. Makes me want to hop on a plane and visit your wonderful country
Just do it!!
Another great video Ruth!
Thanks again!
Thank you so much for all the great information! Really appreciate your channel and you all the way here in Arizona. USA.
So nice of you to say! Thank you 🙏
Thank you for making these videos, I really appreciate them.
Glad you like them! Thank you 🙏
Lovely video and great content!
Thanks so much!
Thanks! This was absolutely Brilliant. Just watching this made me thirsty for the smokey and peaty flavor of a Whiskey, which I enjoy above all parts of tasting whiskey. Saw your Speyside presentation and was enamored in wanting to again visit Scotland. Sharing this episode on other Social Media Platforms so that Campbelltown may get some interest and growth from this. Hope Ernie is enduring its travels. Cheers.
Hello, thank you so much. I'm really happy you enjoyed this video and thanks for sharing it!
Good on ya Ruth love a little Scotch. Thanks for the insight to Scotlands finest.🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Ruth this is lots of History in time Amazing Awesome so cool to see😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video from the always delightful Ruth.
Many thanks!
Ruth you are becoming a connoisseur of whisky.😂
I enjoyed the history 💚
I am!
Lovey and so informative. 😊
Thank you 🙏
New subscriber Ruth (Scotswoman living in England) 👋 I’ve been really enjoying watching your videos ❤ I did giggle at your stockpile of glasses. Your van will be clinking going over ever bump 🥃
It does rattle a bit 😂🥃
Your videos are the best!
Glad you like them! 🙏
I have a 1/3 bottle of Glen Scotia from the UK whiskey exchange and 13:52 it is quite lovely !! So want to go and your video affirms that. Thanks for showing us how Campbelltown is the place to go !!!
Another outstanding output - Slàinte !
Glad you liked it!
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Ruth - I love a dram or two and plan to visit Campbeltown in the next year or two!
Brilliant, hope you enjoy visiting the distilleries!
What a treasure! I never knew about Campbelltown as a whisky region. I agree peaty whisky is wonderful, so now I'll add Kilkerran to my must-try list. So sad to hear the ferry from Ardrossan isn't running. It seems many ferry services are dealing with old boats and short-handed crews. We can only wish for better times ahead for the boats and for the three new distilleries. I sense another trip to Campbelltown for a wee dram, when the new operations are up and running.
Thanks Eric, the ferry service might be back soon I heard but not sure when!
@@ruthaisling Oh, that's good news, thanks! One other question, if you don't mind: where is the beautiful bridge at 23:29? The engineer in me wants to see it in person.
Just back from a tour of Scotland, your videos remind me of how lovely Scotland is.
Good to hear they do 🏴
Keep it up Ruth. You'll be at half a million subs in no time. Thanks for all that you do.
And thank you for watching 🙏
I bet you slept well that night!!
We were there in 2019 had a great time. Love your vis keep them comming)))
Thank you..Will do!
You are absolutely AMAZING
The other video you made about Scottish whiskey was great and this one was too Very interesting Ruth, love seeing these old buildings and leaning the history.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was really interesting making it.
How interesting is that volg and always a smile, stay safe and looking forward to the nxt 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
@@ruthaisling also do like a wee dram or two so will look for those whiskies 🥃
Fascinating. One of your best. Strange, when in the RAF I remember Macrihanish, Campbeltown’s airport, as place to pick up prawns and take them back home to base, making us very popular. I was unaware of the whisky slant. Ignorance is bliss. Many thanks. Rmb5*
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥃
Very nice video! Must visit Scotland to try their national drink.
You should!
I recently discovered your channel, so interesting. You give me the incentive to go and visit your beautiful country! So many whiskeys and so little time! 😉 Thanks for sharing and keep up the nice work.
Please do visit! I’m sure you’ll have a great time!
Thank you, Ruth, that was interesting 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fascinating! Very interesting & informative! I just remembered Campbelltown from your other video, "Traveling the Scotland Tourists Don't Go," which I am now going to watch again, as I also loved that one. Along with admiring longingly the mouth watering Seafood Platter at Skipness Seafood. Yum!. I also remember it from that old Song "Campbelltown Loch I wish ye were Whiskey, Campbelltown Loch Och Aye. Campbelltown Loch & if ye were Whiskey, I would drink ye drrrry." LOL. Oh my! That would have been a fair sight to see! So, its lovely to visit Campbelltown again & hear the interesting, yet sad, at times, story of the Distilleries there. Yet, it's heartening to hear that at least those three survived. Campbelltown is still a lovely place though, even with only three Distilleries left. The Distillery buildings themselves look so rustic though. So, just seeing & being able to admire them on a tour would be really interesting just for that alone! Aye lassie! I really love yer wee dram glasses they gave you there. Especially the ones at the last two Distilleries you visited. They are so cute! I love both the size & the shape of the glasses.Totally unique! I'm not really a whisky drinker, per se, but I would definitely use those wee dram glasses for everything else anyway. It's also a lot better than drinking out of a Loch! Yikes! LOL. Thank you for sharing another wonderful experience Ruth! Blessings to you!
Thanks so much, it is nice that three still remain! I love the dram glasses too and you're right, they would be good for other things too!
@@ruthaisling My pleasure! Have peaceful evening!🙂
A very interesting and well presented video about our national drink Ruth. I am not a whisky drinker myself, but could see myself trying some of these if I was to visit.🏴
You need to!!
I I love whisky but have pretty much quit alcohol. I'd love to do these tours though, the history is fascinating and there's no harm in a dram! Fab video thanks Ruth. x
Thank you 🙏
I love Campbeltown whiskies
So do I 🥃
Very interesting. Beautiful place and love all the old buildings still being used. Can't do whiskey after an unfortunate incident in my "youth", but still enjoyed learning about the distilleries.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful .
Many thanks!
Quite impressive video that you have shown to us that watch your channel and I've subscribed to it also and thanks for taking the time to make this wonderful content to the many people who will be interested your great channel. Yours truly Edward Parkhurst.
Thank you for subscribing Edward. I appreciate it!
Cambeltown was also the name of the famous ship used for the commando raid on the St. Nazaire docks during WWII.
That's interesting, thanks for sharing!
Always nice to see you smiling face and cheerful presentation!
😊 thank you for saying!
