Individual buildings are still standing and are used by the Springbank distillery for example, to bottling.

When Alfred Barnard under his whiskey tour visited the distillery in 1885, it had an annual production capacity of 40,000 gallons and was thus one of the smaller distillery in the town. There were two small stills available. It was produced a malt whiskey.

Since 1985, the distillery Springbank spent a single-malt whiskey called Longrow. This was burned in 1974. This is made from peated malt and distilled twice, resulting in a more intense smoky whiskey results. This is available in different standard bottlings. Besides Longrow Springbank also spent a triple distilled whiskey from non-peat malt under the name Hazelburn.
