Longrow 18 Year Old 2024 Edition - 46% 70cl

The Longrow 18 Year Old is one of Springbank’s annual limited releases, combining the distillery’s heavily peated Campbeltown spirit with the depth and richness that comes from long maturation.

The 2024 edition was matured in 90% Sherry casks and 10% Port casks, giving the whisky a particularly rich and dark-fruited character alongside the unmistakable Longrow smoke.

Bottled at 46%, this is a mature, complex whisky where the peat has softened with age but remains very much part of the picture.

Nose: This year’s Longrow 18 kicks off with notes of blackberry jam, walnuts, liquorice and a subtle smokiness on the nose.

Palate: The peat smoke continues on the palate and notes of black forest gateaux, maraschino cherries, dates and dark chocolate ganache are introduced.

Finish: A long, gentle nish, there are notes of coffee beans, sea salt and peat smoke.
