THEY say that newspaper men and women like a drink and we are very proud of the fact that in four out of five of our home towns: Oban, Fort William, Campbeltown and Arran there are famous whisky distilleries. In fact whisky in Argyll and Bute is such a historic and valued part of the local economy that the area has two distinct whisky classifications to itself, Campbeltown and Islay. Look out for the Campbeltown Whisky Festival in May.
In Fort William the distillery sits at the foot of Ben Nevis. Can you get more iconic than that? The malts produced here are valued by connoisseurs around the world and the most famous blended whiskies all use our produce.
