“When you open the bottle, a rich, deeply complex, dense but characterful sherry whisky. It took a month to open up inside the bottle for the "damp leaf", autumn air impressions to emerge out of the balanced yet rigid cloak of malty sherryness and become noticable to me. A waxy herbaciousness, lacquered conifers, sometimes menthol while breathing in... Definitely worth buying. I wish I had the money for a another bottle to compare next year, but that's uni life!”

Longrow 18 Year Old

An absolute gem of a whisky here, Longrow 18 year old is a double distilled, heavily peated single malt from Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. Longrow was first created as an experiment to make a peated whisky in Campbeltown, but its popularity grew thanks to its brazen, muscular character.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

Apple peels, and smoke. Earthy peat, damp leaves, notes of truffle, woodshed, porridge oats and soot.

Palate

Peaty with notes of spicy. Very oily, with hints of orange zest, pepper and chili. Very "big". Kippers, smoked meats and honey.

Finish

Spicy and oily, with notes of dark, earthy peaty.

Great whisky

Next level whisky. Beautiful!

Master of Malt Customer Sep 19, 2020

Just perfect.

The balance in this whisky is astonashing. Rich and dark nose with dried fruits, dark chocolate, coastal autumn air, faint smoke and a slight medicinal touch. Also some wax. The taste is full with a thick and oily texture. All the above comes back on the taste but with a touch of sweet licorice as well. The sweetness is perfect and balanced with a saltiness in the long finish with some ash and smoke. Buy while it lasts!

Needs a minute to open up

Opened this up for a little taste in the afternoon and thought it was hot and woody. A bit disappointed earlier in the day, then after letting it sit in the glass it mellows out some and you get a smooth dram with all the complexity of other Campbeltown whiskys. Maybe costs a bit too much, not that much different from Springbank 15. Still pretty happy with this one.

Exceptional - but no smoke.

Exceptionally good 2018 bottling, but don't be mislead by 'heavily peated' description - it isn't. A fresh bottle has a slight peat reek, but after opening for a week or so the peat and smoke only exist in your imagination. Buy the entry level 'Longrow peated' if you are looking for a bonfire experience. I did say this whisky was exceptional, and it is. Rich & concentrated: peaches, coconut, dried seaweed, complex and multi-layered. Seemingly changing as the level in your glass goes down. Nearest comparison I have is Irish (Mitchell's Yellow spot). Go on - treat yourself - Springbank always delivers.

Good.

Bought this bottle in 2016. I think its good but not exceptional either. The peat is the secondary note on this one but nonetheless present. Typical of Springbank it is definitely well made high quality stuff but the palate might be a little subdued and lacking the usual robust character I associate with this distillery. Its between a 3.5 to 4 rating imo.
