- Description
- North Star Spirits' 2014 Campbeltown blended malt combines single malts from multiple undisclosed local distilleries, each matured in Port and oloroso sherry octaves for eight years. The varied mashbills and house styles create complexity that single-source Campbeltown often lacks, while sherry and Port casks add richness and wine-influenced sweetness. For those wanting to understand Campbeltown's character as a collective regional style rather than a single distillery.
