A particularly appealing Longrow single malt from the Springbank Distillery here folks, matured for 21 years! This terrific Campbeltown whisky packs a peaty punch paired with fresh fruit flourishes. Hopefully all that alliteration conveys our excitement for this one.
Streaky bacon and burnt ends, with juicy mango and a touch of toffee.
Stewed berries and green apple notes arrive first, before earthy smoke and hickory. Pockets of vanilla and sugared almond pop up later on.
Final wafts of orange oil, cask char, floral malt and star anise.
This is such a deep, murky, complex dream of a dram. The finish just goes on and on. Malty, chocolatey smoke. Springbank have nailed this. Much prefer this to the SB25... just wish I had more than one bottle!
Excellent!
