| | Springbank: Campbeltown distillery- Scotch Whisky - |
 | | Springbank is one of the only distilleries to produce its own malt for 100%. | | | The peaty whisky being less to the taste of the blenders in the 1850's, Springbank was one of the first distilleries in Campbeltown to dry their malt above a coal fire. | | | Maturation happens in several types of cask: bourbon, refill, rum, madeira or sherry. |

| | Springbank Distillery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The distillery, located on the southern Kintyre penninsula, produces three distinct types of single malt Scotch whisky (the only two other distilleries in Scotland to produce more than one are Loch Lomond Distillery and Tobermory). | | | Springbank is one of the few remaining family owned distilleries. | | | While a few others still maintain the first step in the process, the malting of barley (which is becoming more rare), Springbank also bottles their own whisky. |

| | Springbank's second product, Longrow, is distilled conventionally in two of the stills and uses malt which is entirely peat kilned, giving it a heeavier, almost Islay quality. | | | The distillery is one of only two in Scotland (the other being Glenfiddich) which bottle on site, and it prides itself on not chill-filtring its whisky at the bottling stage. | | | Springbank itself is bottled at many different ages, the older ones in particular - 21, 25 nad 30 years old - now beginning to make their mark, especially in the important Japanese market. |

| | Springbank releases have traditionally combined a special mixture of salt, oil, peat, brine, oak, and especially sherry. | | | Springbank originally produced Longrow on rare occasions and bottlings were hard to come by but has distilled Longrow each of the past ten years, assuring a continuing supply. | | | The distillery offered both an oak cask bottling as well as a sherry cask bottling. |

| | UISGE! Springbank Distillery: All about it |
| | The barley is malted, the peat is cut by distillery staff, the malt is dried on a kilning floor and the matured whisky is bottled. | | | A second malt whisky is produced at Springbank called Longrow, the name of one of the old neighbouring distilleries which closed almost a century ago. | | | When the Duke of Argyll launched his own brand of prestige, export scotch 15 years ago, it was Springbank malt whisky that went into the bottles. |

| | Springbank itself appears in a wide variety of vintages, ages, and woods, the most famous of which is the 1966, distilled from locally grown barley kilned over local peat. | | | Reviving an old Campbeltown name, the distillery will in 2006 bottle a whisky called Hazelburn, distilled in 1997. | | | As awareness of woods has increased in the industry, Springbank has mainly acquired Bourbon barrels, to highlight the character of the whisky itself, but most bottlings are vatted to give a touch of color and sweetness from sherry wood. |

| | Springbank Distillery was founded in 1828 and is one of the very few distilleries that is still owned by descendants of its founders - the Mitchell family. | | | Its bottlings are done on the premises of the distillery which is very rare these days. | | | It also refuses to chill-filter the whisky before bottling, and it re-distills the foreshots and feints separately instead of adding them to the low wines in the distillation run. |

| | In the late 19th century the whisky distilleries of Campbeltown prospered. | | | The Campbeltown whisky was sought after by blenders, by this time Campbeltown whisky was close to Islay whisky in taste and character. | | | But in the beginning of the 20th century the customers preferences turned to lighter whiskies, and Springbank altered the taste of its whiskies by drying the malt over coal instead of peat. |

| | Springbank |
| | Springbank is the only whisky producer that uses their own water supply entirely from beginning to end in the distilling process. | | | It is believed that whisky and the skills of distillation were brought in the sixth century by the Celts from Antrim, Northern Ireland, a mere ten miles across the wild Irish sea, to Campbeltown on the Mull of Kintyre, the home of Springbank. | | | The malted barley acquires this during the `mashing` process when the sugars are leeched out by warm, peaty water. |

| | These are "vattings" -- combinations of single malts from the same distillery and not to be confused with blends, which use single malts from different distilleries -- of single malts aged in both used sherry and used American bourbon barrels. | | | Thus, the Glenrothes 1992 (a 12-year-old bottled in 2004) and the 16-year-old Glenrothes 1987 (bottled in 2003) must be distilled in those specific years. | | | For many, a single malt is the very essence of a distillery's character, reflecting its water, barley and barrels. |
