Springbank
For a period, Campbeltown was the undisputed Whisky Capital of the World, boasting over 30 distilleries operating simultaneously at its peak. Locally available peat, barley and coal, coupled with a quick steamship service to Glasgow meant this thriving industry lasted into the early 20th Century. Alas; ultimately (and perhaps inevitably) it proved unsustainable, and by 1935 the bubble had well and truly burst, with only Springbank and Glen Scotia distilleries remaining.
The family owned Springbank is unique in that it remains the only distillery in Scotland where 100% of the production process is carried out on site, and while it produces three distinct styles (in Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn), its eponymous Springbank expression still accounts for the lion's share of production. A medium peated, two and a half times distilled spirit, Springbank is complex, robust and never boring!

Wolfburn
Wolfburn (of Thurso) has recently wrestled the title of Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery from Old Pulteney, the Wick-based maritime malt masters. Having only gained approval for the new distillery - which lies a short distance from the old one, but draws its water from the same "Wolf Burn" - in 2012, the owners managed to produce the first spirit in early 2013. Very early on in the distillery's formation, the company cleverly hired Shane Fraser who was formerly manager of Glenfarclas.
The release consists of 1,550 bottles in total with spirit matured for seven years purely in ex-bourbon quarter casks, natural colour and non-chill filtered. These little casks have done a lovely job of producing a stellar single malt whisky, easy-drinking with an excellent depth of flavour.
