Springbank Distillery

On the coast, in the southern part of the Kintyre peninsula, lies the town of Campbeltown, from which one can see Ireland on clear summer days.
Whiskey was distilled in Campbeltown as early as the 1590s. The oldest evidence dates back to 1591. The current site consists not only of the original building from 1828, but also of parts of the former distilleries Longrow, Rieclachen, Union, Springside and Argyll. It is one of the few distilleries in Scotland that is still run by the original family (Mitchell). The current owner, Mr. Hedley G. Wright, is a direct descendant of the Mitchell family.

What is unique about Springbank in Scotland is that they carry out the traditional malt process and bottling at the distillery. They produce 3 different malts: Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn.
