Hazelburn (Springbank) Springbank Distillery is the oldest, independent & family owned malt whisky distillery in Scotland having been founded in 1828 in Campbeltown at the foot of the Mull of Kintyre on the west coast of Scotl&. Springbank produces three different types of malt whisky including Hazelburn which is non-peated & triple distilled & was first produced in 1997 & first released at the age of 8 years in 2005. The barley is spread across traditional malting floors at Springbank where it germinates & is then dried by hot air on the perforated floor of the malt kiln. The name Hazelburn is in memory of Hazelburn Distillery which was once one of the largest & now one of Campbeltown’s many lost distilleries & operated in the centre of the town from 1825 until 1925.
