Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Campbeltown

This distillery was founded by William Mitchell in 1872. He had previously owned Springbank with his brother John. You can learn the history of this family as well as the different names of whiskies that have become established here. Several tours are offered. The £10 tour lasts one hour and tells you about the genesis of the distillery and how whisky is made. It ends with the tasting of a dram of spirit and the gift of a miniature.

Springbank is one of the last distilleries still active in Campbeltown. Present in its current premises since 1828, it claims to conduct 100% of its production on site, which is extremely rare in Scotland. The tour unveils the process from A to Z and ends with a tasting of the 10-year-old, a single malt with tastes of citrus fruits, spices and peat smoke, with a hint of vanilla. You'll leave with your miniature as a gift to prolong the pleasure or just to enjoy it if you have to drive.
