Official information

Springbank Distillery is a renowned whisky distillery located in Campbeltown, Scotland. Visitors can take guided tours to learn about the whisky-making process and sample various whiskies from their range.

From the Wikipedia article

Springbank is a family-owned single malt whisky distillery on the Kintyre peninsula in western Scotland. It is owned by J & A Mitchell & Company, which also owns the Glengyle distillery, the oldest independent bottler, William Cadenheads, and several blended scotch labels. Licensed in 1828, Springbank is one of the last surviving producers of single malt whiskies in Campbeltown, an area that once had more than thirty active distilleries. The distillery produces three types of peated and unpeated malt whisky that it bottles under three distinct brands. The majority of its distillate is bottled as a single malt, with a small percentage sold to larger blenders or ending up in one of J&A Mitchell's own blended scotch labels, such as Campbeltown Loch.
