The Jewel of Campbeltown: Springbank

While there are many cult distilleries in Scotland, unknown to most drinkers but loved by their fans, there is one that surpasses the rest. Campbeltown’s 14th distillery, Springbank, was founded on the site of a previously illicit still, run by Archibald Mitchell. Three years after Archibald and his brother Hugh became partners at the nearby Rieclachan distillery, Archibald’s in-laws bought the site and Springbank was born.

While the distillery’s annual and special releases are the most sought-after by drinkers and collectors, the distillery’s core range of whiskies doesn’t stick around on the shelf either. These bottlings are produced in small batches and land in shops fairly regularly, with a little bit of variation between releases – generally between very good and outstanding.
