Campbeltown Loch is a blended malt Scotch whisky that has been gaining attention in recent years. Produced by J & A Mitchell, owners of Springbank Distillery, it is a blend of five single malts from three Campbeltown distilleries: Springbank, Longrow, Hazelburn, Kilkerran, and Glen Scotia.

This whisky is acclaimed for its quality and value, and is considered by many to be an excellent entry-level example of the Campbeltown character. However, one notable aspect of Campbeltown Loch is the noticeable batch-to-batch variation that has been noted by several reviewers.

Tasting Profile

The flavour profile of Campbeltown Loch can vary considerably from batch to batch. Some batches will exhibit the following characteristics:

Rich sherry character with nuts, red and dried fruits. Mild floral notes, longrow peat and tropical fruit. Marine and limestone flavours.

Other batches may exhibit the following characteristics:

Flavors primarily from bourbon barrels. Orchard fruit, banana, marine notes. Vanilla and breakfast cereal crème brûlée notes.

Batch-to-batch variation at Campbeltown Loch has been a topic of discussion among whisky lovers. Some batches may have a stronger sherry cask influence, while others may have more ex-bourbon cask influence, potentially resulting in a different experience from bottle to bottle. Some find this intriguing, while others would prefer more consistency.

Despite batch-to-batch variations, Campbeltown Loch is generally considered good value, offering the distinctive Campbeltown character at a more affordable price than some of the region's single malts. It has also received acclaim, including being the winner of the 2023 OSWA (Old and Rare Whisky) award.

Transparency: Some reviewers argue that Springbank needs to be more transparent about the composition of Campbeltown Loch, as no information is provided about the percentage of single malt used, its age, or the specific casks.

In conclusion, Campbeltown Loch offers an interesting and often enjoyable introduction to Campbeltown whisky, but it is important to note that batch-to-batch variations may result in different experiences from bottle to bottle.
