Our most in-depth tour ever. Experience our whisky making process with this hands on, access all areas tour of Springbank Distillery where members of our knowledgeable production team will guide you through each stage of the process, letting you test your skills at various stages.

Once you’re happy with your whisky, you will be able to take away one 70cl bottle to enjoy at home and help you show off your skills to your family and friends.
