Longrow Peated 70cl Whisky
Customer Rating
“First time to try this one, however. On the nose was rum raisins right off, oak cask, leather, then the smoke. Oh, and almonds! The palate was nutty, a tad of dried fruit and then the peat. After a few drops of water, the rum raisin became more apparent. Long, smoky (subtle smoke! ) finish, and wood and fruit remain. Tasted something that oddly reminded me of bubblegum, but not in a bad way. The elements of fruit, smoke and oak are very well-balanced in this delectable dram. ”

Description
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Salt and a leathery smokiness come to the fore in a maritime combination, like a Harbourmaster's Jacket.
Palate
Light and sweet with notes of green grapes and rhubarb, a great contrast to the nose. Then comes a big blast of smoke.
Finish
That salty smokiness returns from the nose providing a deeply satisfying ending.
Overall
A great entry-level offering from Longrow perfect for Islay fans looking for something a bit different.
