This bottling of a 6-year-old blended malt from the Campbeltown region was produced by the independent bottler Atom Brands as part of the Darkness! series, release number 11753/FGHI. The whisky was finished for three months in a specially crafted, very small (80L) first-fill ex-Oloroso sherry cask and was bottled in individually numbered bottles.
The Campbeltown region got its name from the most important place on Kintyre and included all the distilleries on the peninsula. In its heyday there were said to have been 20-30 distilleries, but since the 1920s the number has declined so that today only Glen Scotia and Springbank (with Longrow and Hazelburn, both names of defunct distilleries) remain.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
