Springbank Distillery

Discover a true Campbeltown icon at Springbank Distillery, the oldest independent family-owned distillery in Scotland, founded in 1828. What sets Springbank apart is its unparalleled commitment to tradition: it is the only distillery in Scotland to complete 100% of the whisky-making process on-site, from malting the barley on its own floor maltings right through to bottling.

A tour here offers a rare glimpse into a time-honoured, hands-on production method often referred to as “estate-bottled.” You can explore the historic site and see the process behind their three distinct single malts: the medium-peated Springbank (distilled two-and-a-half times), the heavily-peated Longrow, and the unpeated, triple-distilled Hazelburn.

Standard tours typically last an hour, concluding with a dram of core range whisky, a complimentary glass, and a miniature. With its rich history and traditional approach, Springbank is a mandatory pilgrimage for any serious Scotch whisky enthusiast visiting Campbeltown.
