Description

A revered single malt distillery in Campbeltown that has operated since 1828. It is today owned by J&A Mitchell & Co who produce three single malt styles there. These are its flagship two-and-half times distilled Springbank, a heavily-peated malt known as Longrow, and the triple-distilled Hazelburn. This particular release, the Springbank 1990 Sár Obair 25 Year Old, was bottled by Kingsbury for the Japanese market as part of their Sár Obair series.
