Imagine a remote coastal town at the end of a long and remote peninsula, once home to more distilleries per capita than anywhere else in the British Empire. A place so synonymous with whisky that it earned the nickname Whiskyopolis. This was Campbeltown—thriving in the Victorian era, only to witness the dramatic collapse of its whisky industry within a decade. In this revised, expanded, and updated edition of Distilleries of Campbeltown (first published in 2005), David Stirk delves into the fascinating history of Campbeltown whisky. From its meteoric rise and industrial glory to near extinction and its recent renaissance, Whiskyopolis chronicles the resilience of a town and spirit that refused to fade into history.
