Springbank distillery has been owned and operated by the Mitchell family in Campbeltown since 1837, and it one of Scotland's most revered distilleries. Following a brief mothballing between 1979 and 1987, upon the reopening the decision was taken to cease all sales to the blending industry and focus on its single malt sales. Today it is one of the only distilleries to malt, distil, bottle and mature whisky on the same site, and they are the only distillery in Scotland who malts all their barley using their own floor maltings.
The Springbank Local Barley 10 Year Old, 2011-2021. This expression is a part of the annually released Local Barley series, highlighting the unique terroir of the surrounding region. It is made with Belgravia barley harvested from Glencraigs Farm, a local farm located within a few miles of the distillery. Distilled in May 2011 and matured for ten years, this whisky serves as a testament to the distillery's commitment to utilizing local resources.
