Scotch and Murder

Tonight we sampled the Lowland and Campbeltown malts. Both are an endangered species with Springbank being the sole survivor in a region that once sported 30 distilleries and the Lowland region only supporting three out of the 17 that were active only a quarter of a century ago. For those who attended, which was your favorite:
Campbeltown:
Springbank
Longrow
Lowland:
Glenkinchie
Auchentoshan
Auchentoshan-3 wood
Hedonism
Glengoyne (geographically it is a lowland malt with highland pretensions)
