Springbank Distillery, founded in 1828 in Campbeltown on Scotland’s Kintyre peninsula, is celebrated as one of the most traditional and hands-on whisky makers left in Scotland. It’s one of the very few distilleries that carries out every stage of production on site, including floor malting, distillation, maturation, and bottling. Springbank produces three distinct single malts — Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn — each with its own style, from lightly smoky to heavily peated to triple-distilled. The spirit is known for its oily texture, coastal character, and complex mix of brine, spice, malt richness, and gentle smoke, shaped by slow fermentation, unusual partial triple distillation, and maturation in a variety of casks. With its cult following, small output, and fiercely traditional methods, Springbank stands as a benchmark for old-school, characterful Scotch whisky.
