WEDNESDAY 22ND MAY

The Kiln Dinner at Springbank Distillery

Join us on Wednesday evening for the most exclusive and unique event in our history.
The evening will begin with an opening reception featuring Springbank 21 year old, fine champagne and a delicious selection of local produce canapés followed by a 3 course meal with wine to complement each dish inside our century old candlelit Kiln. Coffee, oatcakes and our famous Mull of Kintyre Cheese board will be served afterwards along with a sample of our smoky Longrow whisky which was hand drawn straight from the cask earlier in the evening specially for you. Each guest will then be presented with their very own exclusive and rare bottle of Longrow drawn straight from the cask on the night. Directors, management and staff of Springbank will be present to answer questions or just for a chat!

Cost is £350 per person and spaces are limited to 40 places.
