Campbeltown Connections 10YO, 50.7%

THE REVIEW

It isn’t often that you can get Campbeltown bottles for a bargain, they tend disappear very quickly. Enter the folks at North Star Spirits to solve all of our problems.

Here we have a vatting of 25 year old Springbank, 25 year old Glen Scotia and a blended malt of undisclosed Campbeltown malts at 10 years old. Bottled at 50.7% ABV with no added colouring or chill filtering, the whisky world appears to have a champion of 2025 in so many ways.

The taste profile on this is layered and rather refreshing when it comes to the aroma. Loads of grapefruit, vanilla, caramelised banana, and a finish that is heavy with nutty, drying flavours. You get a little of that Campbeltown funk if you add some water to, it certainly delivers on the strength side, too.

Either way, this is a gem of the year in whisky that is 2025. I’ve left the link HERE if you want to pick one up, because it’s still in stock and is only £45 a bottle. You’d literally be mad not to.
