Longrow 21 Year Old 2023 Edition is a beautifully rich peated whisky from one of Campbeltown’s finest distilleries.
First distilled in 1973, Longrow is a double distilled, heavily peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky produced at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland.
The malt is peat dried for up to 48 hours to give the whisky a unique Campbeltown-style smoky character.
Named after another lost distillery of Campbeltown (which once operated right next door to Springbank and whose warehouse now houses our bottling hall), Longrow was first produced in 1973.
Originally, it provided a peaty, oily and robust component to a blend being created at the time. More heavily peated and double distilled, it has been a staple in the production calendar since the 1990s.
The oldest whisky in the Longrow core range, the annually released 21 year old has a different maturation with each release.
Sweet peat smoke and maritime notes show Longrow at its best in this most recent edition. It utilises a selection of 65% Sherry casks and 35% Bourbon casks.
Please note, being sold from a private collection.
Nose: There is a savoury note in the introduction to this dram, along with hints of hazelnut and blackcurrants.
Palate: Syrupy sweet yet delicate on the palate, there are notes of fizzy cola bottles and cigar box smoke.
Finish: A characteristically Longrow finish reminiscent of shingle beaches, flint and then seaweed.
