Springbank

During the glory days of the town and the tip of the Kintyre peninsula, more that thirty distilleries were active in the area. Campbeltown was also known as 'The Whisky Capital of the World' .Springbank distillery was built in 1828 by two brothers, Archibald and Hugh Mitchell and whisky has been distilled legally on the site of the present distillery since. Rumour has it that their father had already been running an illegal distillery at the same location for years. Apart from the 'Springbank' brand the distillery produces two other deluxe brands, Hazelburn and Longrow.
