History

Owned by Mr Wright's J&A Mitchell & Co Ltd, Springbank is the only distillery in Scotland to carry out the full production process on the one site. 100% of the traditional floor malting, maturation and bottling is done at the distillery in Campbeltown.

It produces the most hand made whisky in Scotland, with traditional production methods being used throughout the process, and human involvement at each and every stage.

It is the only distillery in Scotland to have never chill-filtered, nor do we add any artificial colourings to any of our single malts.

It is the only distillery in Scotland to produce three different single malts, Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn, using three different production methods.

Tours of the distillery are available and our visitors can also enjoy a relaxing dram after the tour in the luxurious Tasting Room in Campbeltown. For more information on tours, times and availability, email , telephone +44 (0) 1586 551710 or go to the Tasting Room blog.

J&A Mitchell & Co Ltd also owns Mitchell's Glengyle Distillery in Campbeltown, where Kilkerran single malt is distilled, the first new distillery built in Scotland this millennium. J&A Mitchell is also the sister company of the Campletown based, world-famous independent bottler William Cadenhead Ltd.
