Longrow Red 15 Year Old Pinot Noir Cask 51.4%

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Creamy and fruity on the nose, with notes of custard, bramble jelly, red apples and cherries. The Longrow character presents itself in smoky embers, along with hints of toffee and butterscotch.

Taste: The smokiness continues on the palate and tannin flavours develop, balanced with sweet confectionary, cranberry and raspberry in this smooth, delicate malt.

Finish: With briny, maritime elements and the persistence of the smoky embers, the Campbeltown influence is particularly apparent in the finish.

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.
