A 13 year old Campbeltown single malt from the Springbank distillery, released under the Longrow name - so expect a good kick of peat with this one! For this release, the whisky was finished in Malbec casks for 15 months after 12 years in bourbon casks.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
A very coastal beginning; sea salt with a fresh breeze, then becomes fruity; sweet cocktail cherries, blackberries and red currants. A faint and subtle note of cigar boxes and tobacco comes through.
The fruitiness continues with rhubarb crumble, stewed apples and juicy plums. Current ham follows with a very soft and delicate touch of peat with more coastal sea salt notes.
Red wine tannins dominate, combined with smouldering campfire smoke and the ever present fresh fruit notes of prunes and cherries.

Delightful sea salty and fruit. Hints of olive.
Starting backward, the finish is long, salty, briny, peaty with hints of wine and fresh summer berries. On the pale there is a kick of raspberries, cherries, vanilla, toasted oak, smoked ham. Nosing is all about peat, smoke, strawberry jam with maritime sea breeze.
