I spent the day today at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland and even after many years of selling Springbank whiskies, seeing the distillery in person gives you a completely different appreciation for what makes it so special.
There are many beautiful, modern and impressive distilleries around the world, but Springbank is almost the opposite — and I mean that in the best possible way. Nothing here feels fancy, shiny or pretentious. The buildings are old, the equipment is worn, and much of it has been doing the same job for decades. If something works, they maintain it, repair it and keep using it rather than replacing it simply for the sake of modernization.
Springbank was founded in 1828 on the site of an earlier illicit still, and that sense of history is everywhere you look. Even today, the entire wh**ky-making process is carried out on site, from traditional floor malting right through to bottling. They still malt 100% of their own barley on traditional floors, use equipment that in some cases dates back generations, and produce Springbank, Longrow and Hazelburn from the same distillery using different production methods.
That was probably the biggest takeaway for me. There were no great surprises in how Springbank is made — I have known the story for years — but seeing really is believing. You can understand why the wh**ky has such a distinctive character when you actually stand on the malting floor, see the old Porteous mill, walk through the production areas and into those dark, damp warehouses full of ageing casks.
The people are just as much a part of Springbank as the equipment. It is a relatively small team, many of whom have been there for years, and there is a genuine feeling that they are not simply employees but custodians of something very special. Springbank has deliberately retained many of the traditional production methods used by generations before them, rather than chasing efficiency at every opportunity.
And then there is the experience of simply being here. Wh**ky enthusiasts start lining up well before the shop opens, wondering what limited bottles might appear that morning and hoping they may be lucky enough to get their hands on one. Then you get inside, tour the distillery, see how everything works and, if you are fortunate, taste some remarkable old whiskies straight from the warehouses — the kind of bottles you would never imagine being opened.
Springbank produces some of the most sought-after wh**ky in the world, yet when you visit, you realize its appeal has very little to do with luxury or marketing. It is almost the opposite.
It is history, tradition, people, old equipment, hard work and a determination not to change something simply because the modern world says you should.
The distillery is worn, imperfect and full of character — and somehow that feels like an important part of what ends up in the bottle.
A very special day in Campbeltown and absolutely worth the journey.
🥃 Springbank — seeing really is believing.

Apparently Caol Ila really is the gold at the end of the rainbow! 🥃
A pretty spectacular way to wrap up our time on Islay, with the rainbow coming down right over Caol Ila as we prepared to leave the island.
It’s been an incredible few days visiting some of Islay’s great distilleries. Looking forward in bringing some exciting new limted releases for our Craft Cellars customers in the coming months.
Now we’re on the ferry and heading to Campbeltown for the next part of the trip — with Springbank Distillery on the agenda for the next couple of days.
Hard to imagine a better send-off from Islay than this.
🥃 Slàinte from the ferry — next stop, Campbeltown!

Another great day on Islay, this time at Ardbeg on the south coast.
This stretch of the island is home to some of Islay’s most famous peated whiskies, with Ardbeg, Lagavulin and Laphroaig all close together along the coast.
Ardbeg has a great story and has certainly had its ups and downs over the years, with closures, changes in ownership and restarts along the way, but today it is one of the most recognized distilleries on Islay.
The whiskies themselves are seriously good, but one of the things we really enjoyed about Ardbeg is that they do not take themselves too seriously. There is a fun, slightly cheeky personality to the place and the brand, while still having a huge amount of respect for the wh**ky, the history and the traditions behind it.
We had a great tour through the distillery, spent time in the warehouses and had the chance to sample a few whiskies straight from the cask, which is always one of the highlights of visiting these places in person.
The setting is pretty spectacular as well, right on the water with the rugged Islay coastline all around you.
Another really memorable visit and a great example of what makes Islay such a special place for wh**ky lovers.
🥃 Slàinte from Islay!

Our first full day on Islay could not have started any better.

We had the pleasure of spending the day at Kilchoman Distillery with founder and proprietor Anthony Wills, whose passion for Islay, wh**ky and traditional farm distilling is impossible to miss.

Anthony has built something very special at Kilchoman, bringing back many of the traditions of farm distilling while building one of Islay’s most respected independent distilleries. It was a real privilege to spend time with him, hear the story behind Kilchoman, tour the distillery and warehouses, and talk about the business, the wh**ky industry and the hard work that has gone into building the brand.

What stood out most was Anthony’s genuine passion, his common-sense approach to the business and his commitment to doing things properly.

Of course, there was also some exceptional wh**ky along the way.

We are very excited about some of the Kilchoman releases and opportunities we discussed today, and we look forward to bringing a few real gems back to our customers at Craft Cellars in the coming months.

A fantastic first day on Islay — and a great way to begin our wh**ky journey through Scotland.

🥃 Slàinte from Islay!

The tequila shelf just got a little more interesting.

G4 comes from Felipe Camarena and the legendary El Pandillo distillery, where thoughtful production and a unique blend of spring and collected rainwater help put pure agave character front and centre.

For the tequila drinker who has moved well beyond shots and salt, this one deserves your attention 🥃
