The Countdown Collection is a celebration of the endurance, adaptability and unwavering commitment to producing whisky of the highest quality using traditional methods. The whiskies in this five part series are a tribute to the generations who have contributed to the success of Springbank under the steadfast leadership of J. & A. Mitchell.
This series will feature one special bottling released each year from the distillery in the lead up to our landmark anniversary.
These whiskies are just one part of what will be a wider celebration of this huge achievement for the distillery which has remained independent throughout its 200 year history.
A variety of special events, experiences and prizes will be on offer in the lead up to and during our 200th Anniversary Year in 2028 so there is lots to look forward to and share with all those who have supported and taken interest in the distillery, or simply enjoyed drinking the whiskies made here over the years.
We hope you will join us on this exciting and inclusive journey, counting down the years to this momentous milestone.

Tasting Notes
Nose
A gentle creaminess introduces this dram with notes of peach, apricot and almonds, and there is a prominent tropical influence in hints of papaya, watermelon and coconut shavings.
Palate
Honeycomb sweetness leads on the palate, with a sea salt note building in the background. The sherry influence becomes more pronounced in notes of fig jam, muscovado sugar and cocoa powder.
Finish
The salty note follows through to the finish, with a burst of sweetness and soft peat smoke emerging.
