Springbank was founded in 1828 by the Reid family and is in the town of Campbeltown. Less than a decade later, the distillery was purchased by the Mitchell family. It remains owned by them and is one of the most distinctive and respected family-owned distilleries in Scotland. The distillery is very traditional and hands on with all aspects of production taking place there including floor malting, bottling and warehousing. The distillery produces three distinct spirit styles – lightly peated Springbank, heavily peated Longrow and non-peated triple distilled Hazelburn. The traditional processes and cult status among enthusiasts have made it one of the most admired names in Scotch.
