Campbeltown
SPRINGBANK (1828) zie ook HAZELBURN en LONGROW
Campbeltown, Argyll. Eigenaar: J. & A. Mitchell & Co, Ltd.

Springbank is gesticht in 1828 door een zekere Reid, die in financiële moeilijkheden kwam in 1837 en de distilleerderij verkocht aan Archibald Mitchell, schoonfamilie van Reid.
Springbank is een heel traditioneel werkende distilleerderij, het gehele produktieproces vindt plaats in eigen regie.
Springbank mout zelf, met een onderbreking van twintig jaar (1970 - 1990) men eest zelf, medewerkers graven zelf de turf en sinds kort komt de gerst ook weer uit de omgeving
Springbank heeft drie ketels en men stookt twee en een halve maal. Men werkt ongeveer op 25 % van de kapaciteit van 750.000 liter spirit per jaar.
Dit doet men om de markt voor Springbank niet negatief te beïnvloeden.
De gerst voor de whisky van Springbank wordt boven turf gedroogd gedurende zes uur, en boven hete lucht gedurende dertig uur.
Het water komt van Crosshill Loch, anderhalve kilometer van de distilleerderij verwijderd.
Men heeft een eigen bottellijn, waar ook de whiskies van Cadenhead, een dochterfirma worden gebotteld.
99 % van de whisky van Springbank wordt als single malt whisky verkocht.
De tegenwoordige eigenaar is Hedley Wright, een directe mazaat van de Mitchell's.
Roy Allan was de manager van Springbank gedurende veertig jaar en werd opgevolgd door John McDougall in 1986.
De brouwer is Hector Gatt.
De tegenwoordige manager van de distilleerderij is Frank McHardy (2000).
Springbank was gesloten van 1980 tot 1987, wegens de crisis die er toen (weer) heerste in de whiskyindustrie.
Springbank overleefde toen doordat de toenmalige marketing manager Gordon Wright, enorm inteerde op de voorraden whisky en Springbank heel goed verkocht, vooral in Amerika en Japan, Springbank werd toen een cult whisky.
Er werken 37 mensen en dat is heel veel voor een distilleerderij van deze omvang. In 1987 - 1988 werd er voor het eerst weer whisky geproduceerd.
Na een bouw- en verbouwperiode van achttien maanden onder de leiding van de toenmalige manager John Dougall werd in April 1992 de mouterij weer in bedrijf genomen.
Dit was van groot belang voor de tweede malt whisky van Springbank, Longrow, waarvoor zwaarder geturfrookte gerst wordt gebruikt.
Tegenwoordig wordt de turf voor Springbank gestoken op Islay. Springbank bottelt zijn whisky met 46 %.
In 1995 werd 'triple' uitgebracht, Single Scottish Spirit, bedoeld als trendy drank voor in bar's in de grotere steden. Gebotteld in 35 cl flessen en met een alcohol percentage van 60 %.

Het water komt van Crosshill Loch.
De Mash tun is 3,7 ton
De vijf Wash backs zijn elk 20.000 liter.
De Wash still is 10.000 liter, de twee Spirit stills elk 6000 liter.
Springbank Specifics:
Malting: 25 tons at a time. 200 tons malted per season
Peat: 50 tons puchases each year. Comes from Tomintoul
Peating levels: Longrow 60 ppm. Springbank 15 - 20 ppm. Hazelburn unpeated.
Mater: Crosshill Loch
Mashtun: 2.55 mash (10 hour mashing cycle.
Distillation: Longrow double distillation. Springbank 2 and a half times. Hazelburn triple distillation.
Frank McHardy, manger van Springbank in 2002: 'This place could make 750.000 litres spirit a year, these days it's making 160.000 - 170.000 litres. Hang on a minute, here's a cult whisky, which could sell all it made ten times over, being run at a quarter of its capacity? When you increase volume you start competing with Glenfiddich and The Macaalan, you have to have markelting bugets and you start being dragged into cut-price deals with retailers. We could double production but we'd lose our niche market and profits margins would be reduzed. That's dangerous for a firm our size. We have to make a margin. We've got 37 people working here!

Da Mhile is Keltisch voor 2000
John Savage - Onstwedder, een van afkomst Nederlandse boer, die van 1981 tot 1986 deel uitmaakte van het biologisch - dunamisch landbouwcollectief ' De Kleine Aarde ' te Boxtel, verhuisde naar Wales en begon opnieuw.
Hij leerde een Schotse vrouw kennen, trouwde en kreeg een droom, hij wilde de eerste biologisch - dynamische whisky maken.
Na een lange zwerftocht langs vele Schotse distilleerderijen vond hij Springbank bereid mee te doen.
De gehele distilleerderij werd gereinigd en in 1992 werd deze whisky geproduceerd, vijftien sherryvaten gevuld die eind 1999 zullen worden gebotteld.
'Da Mhile (pronounced da vee lay) is Gaelic for 2000. As an organic farmer it was my vision to create the first organic single malt Scotch whisky in the world.
I wanted it to be specially hand crafted, in time for the most significant New Year's celebrations in a thousend years. It was produced at the revered Spring-bank distillery in June 1992 and matured in sherry casks. Only Springbank could meet my exacting criteria to produce the purest malt one could ever hope to enjoy.
The whisky has been bottled without being chill filtered, a process which removes much of the flavour. There is no caramel added for colour uniformity. Da Mhile is a completely natural product and in my opinion the Millennium malt that truly is the real Uisge Beatha, 'The Water of Life".

SPRINGBANK


Juli 2008

As a consequency of the continuing instability of basic raw material prices, which have
doubled within the last year, the management of J. & A. Mitchell and Company Ltd have
decided to cut back the production of new spirit at their Springbank and Glengyle Distilleries
until prices settle.

The state of the materials market will be kept under continuous review

The opportunity will be taken to carry out necessary maintenance work and create the in-
creased warehousing accommodation required for future development

In the short term there will however, regrettably, be a few staff redundancies

There will be no impact on the availability of bottles Springbank or the Kilkerran whisky
as the company has ample stocks of young maturing whisky which will enable it to con-
tinue supplying its home and export markets as normal

21 September 2009

This week was very busy at Springbank distillery: 60 tonnes of local barley, type
Westminster and grown by local farmer David Young at Langy farm on the south
west.

The moisture content is arount 16 - 17 %

Stuart Robertson, manager and staff have been kept drying the barley and putting it
into storage for at least 3 months

During May and June 2010 the barley will be used for Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn

Springbank had to take hard decisions and decided to cut back production due to the high
cost of utilities and barley the last years
