Campbeltown Malts Festival 2023 - Fringe Events

DJI 0064

As well as our main Watt Whisky & Friends event on Saturday 27th May, we are also running a couple of other tastings during Malts Festival week.

23rd May starts: 7:00pmends: 8:30pm

Five Shades of Green

Location: Watt Whisky Tasting Room, 51 Kirk St, Campbeltown

Yes, it’s finally here - the single colour tasting that we’ve been on about for ages. Join us for a tasting of 5 of our green bottlings to see whether we can find any common characteristics between them or if Mark’s brain is just messed up and random as we’ve all suspected all along!

24th May starts: 2:00pmends: 3:30pm

Not in the Shops...

Location: Watt Whisky Tasting Room, 51 Kirk Street, Campbeltown

Well, not in the UK anyway. A tasting of 5 single cask, single market exclusives. Of which we may have kept a few bottles back before shipping the rest of the cask to our export markets.

25th May starts: 2:00pmends: 3:30pm

A Dram Like Blue

Location: Watt Whisky Tasting Room, 51 Kirk Street, Campbeltown

Another single colour tasting of whiskies (and possibly a rum or two) which Mark smells as blue. Are there any similarities? Or is he just making this up as he goes along? You decide.
