Longrow Peated Whisky 2022 Release 46%

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. Toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.

Taste: Incredibly well balanced; rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, like the soft billows of smoke from the Kiln.

Finish: The gentle smoke lingers and lingers leaving you yearning for more.

Longrow is one of three individual style single malts made at the Springbank distillery on the Kintyre Peninsula in the Campbeltown region. Longrow is distilled twice and is peaty with phenol levels being between 50-55 ppm. This whisky takes its name from the closed distillery next door to Springbank. The warehouse of this former distillery is currently used as a bottling hall for the Springbank distillery. Initially the heavy, oily and peaty style was being used in the formation of a blended whisky. Now the Longrow brand is a well know addition to the Springbank portfolio. The Longrow range consists of none age statement, 18 and a 21 year old. There is also the Longrow Red which is a yearly limited release. The Longrow Red is bottled at cask strength and every year a different type of red wine cask is used to age the whisky. In 2022 there were numerous single casks of Longrow released to market.
