Springbank is unique amongst Scotland's distilleries, it is one of the last truly independent distilling operations in Scotland and it is the only distillery to carry out every part of the process entirely on-site. From the use of locally grown, floor-malted barley through to in-house maturation and bottling, it is a very self-contained distillery. No wonder then that it is one of the most adored whiskies amongst enthusiasts the world over. One of only three operational Campbeltown distilleries it produces a truly distinctive and original spirit.

Springbank is one of the few distilleries that still has a truly old school character to its whisky, one that is apparent even in today's bottlings. However, despite this there has still been a certain evolution of character at the distillery through the years. The basic and unmistakable style of Springbank is a coastal one, lots of brine, gentle fruits, coal smoke, tiny hints of peat, oil, wax and some chewy maltiness. It is such a distinctive style that it has helped keep the idea of Campbeltown as a region in its own right alive in people's minds.
