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.

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'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.

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.

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 😂😂😂.

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.

@ruthaisling

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 !

@ruthaisling

Ай бұрын

That sounds great, I find that single malt doesn't tend to give me any hangover!

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.

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!

Oh, and just saw your post on Curling Stones, I am an elite curler and know what goes into making a great rock.

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.
