About Us

Springbank was established in 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell’s illicit still.

In 2023 long-standing Chairman Mr HG Wright, Mitchell’s great-great grandson passed away and ownership of the company was placed into three trust funds.  A family member was appointed to the company’s board to maintain the longstanding family link.

The 5th Generation of the Mitchell Family

Our team use traditional production methods and are involved in each and every step of the whisky making process – meaning our whisky is the most handmade in Scotland. Unlike any other distillery in the country, 100% of this process is carried out here on one site, giving us unrivalled control over the quality of the whisky.

The 5th Generation of the Mitchell Family

Passion and skill are poured into every last drop during production; ensuring whisky drinkers consistently enjoy the tastes and characteristics that have become synonymous with Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow, the three distinct single malts made at our distillery.

Visitors to Campbeltown can today enjoy learning about the rich history of our distillery during one of our many tours, held by our welcoming and knowledgeable team. The Springbank Society also offers whisky lovers the chance to attend exclusive events and purchase special edition limited release whiskies, bottled especially for society members.

Incredibly proud of the whisky, the area and the history, we are dedicated to preserving the heritage of the distillery so that Springbank can continue to be enjoyed across the world for centuries to come.
