Fans of heavily peated single malts are always happy when Longrow is in town! Matured in a combo of bourbon and sherry casks, this double distilled expression is a classic offering from Campeltown's Springbank distillery.
Salt and a leathery smokiness come to the fore in a maritime combination, like a Harbourmaster's Jacket.
Light and sweet with notes of green grapes and rhubarb, a great contrast to the nose. Then comes a big blast of smoke.
That salty smokiness returns from the nose providing a deeply satisfying ending.
A great entry-level offering from Longrow perfect for Islay fans looking for something a bit different.
A very nice introductory peated malt. Extremely smooth with a hint of spice at first. It finishes with a wonderful smokiness which lingers in the mouth for a while after. Strong but manageable having it on its own, but adding a few drops of water opens it up and smooths it out.
