Hazelburn Distillery

Founded in 1825 by the Reid family and originally known as Rieclachan distillery.^[1] By 1871 was owned by the Greenlees brothers of Lorne Highland Whisky who also owned Dalaruan and Lagavulin but by 1881 this had become the firm of Greenlees and Colvill.^[2] Also in 1881 Captain Samuel Greenlees bought out the partnership of Daniel Greenlees and also acquired the Moy estate.^[3]

In 1886, it had 22 employees and produced 192,000 gallons of whisky per year, making it the largest distillery in the town. On 9 September 1893 Princess Helen of Waldeck and Pyrmont and family were on the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert which arrived in Campbeltown Loch. They were given a tour of the distillery by Samuel Greenlees of Greenlees and Colvill Ltd.^[4]

In 1921 Greenlees & Colvill Ltd went into liquidation and the distillery was offered for sale.^[5] It was bought by Mitchell & Co., but shut down in 1925 and demolished in 1926. Mitchell & Co. owned two other distilleries, including Springbank Distillery.

Since 2005 Springbank Distillery bottles a whisky called Hazelburn Single Malt.Any other information can go here e.g., additional information about the particular bottle being added.
