Back in 1992 John Savage-Onstwedder, founder of Teifi Farmhouse Cheese and organic farmer, asked the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown to produce the first organic whisky of the modern age, to celebrate the forthcoming millennium.
Dà Mhìle (Da-vee-lay) is Gaelic for 2000. In 2010 John applied for a distiller's license and after 3 years of applications and building, distilling began. Today the distillery is run by John's eldest son, John-James who trained at Kilchoman Distillery on Islay.
