Springbank was established by the Reid Brothers in 1828. The Reid Brothers sold the distillery in 1837 to John and William Mitchell. Later, the son of John Mitchell joined the business, which became J&A Mitchell.
The partnership of John and William Mitchell was dissolved in 1872, when John Mitchell bought the distillery for £5,055 (equivalent to £570,100 in 2023), and William Mitchell built the Glengyle Distillery.
In December 1883 a storm hit Campbeltown which resulted in the collapse of the distillery chimneys. Further damage occurred during a storm in 1904, when part of the tun room roof was torn off.
After shutting down temporarily in 1926 due to the effects of the Prohibition in the United States, the distillery began operating again in 1936.
The distillery closed down in 1979 due to the poor state of the UK economy, and reopened in 1989. In 1993, it was revealed that Springbank was the supplier of miniature whisky bottles that were being sold at Balmoral Castle.
