History
Campbeltown’s acclaim as ‘the whiskiest place in the world’ is not without merit. A town of less than 5,000 people, it somehow had a breathtaking 34 legal working distilleries. Moreover, the first reference to Campbeltown is astonishingly early, in 1591. But like with many of the great homes of whisky, things can fall apart without notice. Springbank is one of the last surviving producers of single malt whiskies in Campbeltown. It still has ties to its history though, despite its tumultuous past. In 2013, it sold a bottle of 1919 50-year-old Springbank for over £50,000 to one very lucky whisky collector.
