Springbank 29 Year Old Countdown Collection 2026

Tasting

How it drinks

Sight

Deep amber-mahogany with rich copper highlights; nearly three decades of sherry and rum cask maturation create extraordinary depth of colour

Nose

Gentle creaminess introduces this dram — peach, apricot, almonds. A prominent tropical influence in papaya, watermelon and coconut shavings. 29 years of slow Campbeltown maturation concentrated into something ethereal

Palate

Honeycomb sweetness leads on the palate with sea salt building in the background. Sherry influence becomes pronounced in fig jam, muscovado sugar, cocoa powder. The rum barrel adds an exotic sweetness and tropical dimension. Masterful complexity from the three-cask marriage

Finish

Salty note follows through to the finish with a burst of sweetness and soft peat smoke emerging. The maritime Campbeltown character and gentle peat linger beautifully

Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
