Springbank is an iconic Scotch distillery located in the Campbeltown area that was founded in 1828 by the Mitchell family, who still own it today, making it one of the few Scotch distilleries still in the hands of the original founders.

Springbank is renowned for , that as one of the few distilleries in Scotland, it carries out the entire whiskey production process on site - from malting to distillation to bottling. This gives the distillery more control over the quality of the final product and ensures that Springbank whiskey has its own specific character.

The distillery produces three different types of whisky:
Springbank - A lightly peated whisky, distilled 2.5 times, giving it a complex profile with with a subtle hint of smoke.

Longrow - A heavily peated, double-distilled whiskey that has a more pronounced smoky profile, reminiscent of Islay whisky.

Hazelburn - An un-peated, triple-distilled whiskey with a subtle, sweeter profile.

Thanks to its authenticity and unmistakable character, Springbank is sought after by both whiskey connoisseurs and collectors, which has made whiskey from this distillery very difficult to find in recent years.

Longrow 2000 is a 7-year-old single malt whisky, distilled in October 2000 and bottled in January 2008 as part of the Wood Expressions series. The whisky first matured for 5.5 years in refill bourbon casks and was then finished for 18 months in Gaja Barolo Italian red wine casks. This specific maturation style imparts intense fruit and peat notes, creating a complex profile.

Nose: Sweet notes of roasted fruit and strong peat smoke, with hints of strawberry and blackcurrant.

Taste: Full and oily, with flavors of cherry, blackcurrant, and tobacco mixed with a peaty character.

Finish: Long, with lingering notes of red fruit and smoke that persist on the palate, giving the whisky an unforgettable depth.
