Day 6 – Springbank

Springbank Distillery situated near the Mull of Kintyre in Argyll, Scotland, was founded in 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell’s illicit still. It is one of the last surviving producers of Campbeltown single malt whisky, and is the oldest independent family owned distillery in Scotland.

Owned by J & A Mitchell & Co Ltd, Springbank is a very traditional distillery carrying out the full production process on the one site. Traditional floor malting, maturation and bottling are all done at the distillery in Campbeltown. It is also the only distillery in Scotland to produce three different styles of single malt whisky, Hazelburn, Springbank and Longrow using three different production methods.

Lightly peated and distilled two and a half times, Springbank is the most popular variety out of the three produced at the distillery, and is touted by some as being the very best whisky produced in Scotland.

Adelphi Springbank 35 Year Old
Campbeltown Single Malt Whisky

Of all malts, Springbank takes great age best. This is a refill butt and has given the whisky a good mahogany hue – not as dark as some we have seen, but indicating that the whisky may not have been dominated by wood.

An extraordinary whisky, to be savoured with dark chocolate, espresso coffee and Robusto Havana!
