Description
This fully sherry-matured release of the Longrow 18 Year Old combines sweet honey notes with an earthy peat influence reminiscent of dunnage warehouses.
Peated for 48 hours, and double distilled, Longrow is the richer, oilier single malt produced at the Springbank Distillery.
Springbank is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform every step in the whisky making process, from malting the barley to bottling the spirit, on same premises: the other is Kilchoman Distillery who also grow their own barley.
While a few others still maintain the first step in the process, the malting of barley (which is becoming more rare), Springbank also bottles their own whisky.
Springbank Single Malt is the most popular variety, Longrow Single Malt is a highly-peated, double-distilled whisky and Hazelburn Single Malt, the newest variety.
Please note, being sold from a private collection.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Notes of sweet barbequed pork and leather bound books kick off this dram. There is an earthy note hinting toward the peat influence, along with notes of nectarine and menthol.
Palate: The sweetness continues on the palate in notes of honey, butterscotch and Parma violets. Hints of orange peel complement the subtle peat influence.
Finish: The earthy element carries through to the finish, along with notes of tobacco leaf.
