The distiller also offers this description: "The original Springbank whisky has been distilled legally on the site of the present distillery since 1828, and probably illicitly since well before then! The 15 year old, matured in sherry casks, is a fine after-dinner dram full of sweet, rich flavours like dark chocolate and raisins."
Technical Notes Campbeltown Single Malts are single malt Scotch whiskies distilled in the burgh of Campbeltown, on the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland. Once a major producer of whisky with as many as 28 distilleries, and claiming the title "whisky capital of the world", production has markedly declined. Most of these distilleries have gone out business and little trace of them remains in the Campbeltown area. By 2010 only three distilleries continue to produce whisky in Campbeltown: Springbank, Glengyle, and Glen Scotia. The Springbank Distillery produces three distinct whiskies; Springbank, Hazelburn, and Longrow.
