Hun filosofie is heerlijk simpel en eerlijk: bottel whisky omdat het gewoon verdomd goed smaakt. Is het een kwaliteitsdistillaat, goed gerijpt op vat, dan verdient het een plek in een fles. Of dat nu single malt is, blended malt, of iets daar tussenin.<br><br>Watt Whisky is trots gevestigd in Campbeltown, Schotland. E\u00e9n van de meest historische whiskyplaatsen ter wereld. Ooit telde het stadje meer dan 35 distilleerderijen en nog steeds is Campbeltown een van de meest karaktervolle regio\u2019s binnen Scotch whisky. Kate en Mark kozen Campbeltown niet alleen omdat het hun thuis is, maar omdat ze actief willen bijdragen aan de whisky cultuur, de beleving voor bezoekers \u00e9n de lokale gemeenschap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(1000 \/ 1000)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container
