NOTE: THIS STOCK IS BEING SOLD FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTION
Springbank's heavily peated malt, Longrow brings richer peaty notes to their range.
This is their 2021 18 year old release, matured in 30% bourbon, 60% sherry and 10% chardonnay casks.
Springbank is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform every step in the whisky making process, from malting the barley to bottling the spirit, on same premises: the other is Kilchoman Distillery who also grow their own barley. While a few others still maintain the first step in the process, the malting of barley (which is becoming more rare), Springbank also bottles their own whisky.
Springbank Single Malt is the most popular variety, Longrow Single Malt is a highly-peated, double-distilled whisky and Hazelburn Single Malt, the newest variety.
Please note, stock is limited from secondary market releases.
Nose: The characteristic maritime influence of Campbeltown whisky kicks off this malt, with notes of fishing creels from the outset. Sweet wild berries and dried fruits balance the salty, briny elements.
Palate: Sweet honeycomb and butterscotch alongside creamy vanilla and herbs. The rich peat influence is palpable in hints of burnt embers and delicate spices.
Finish: The maritime influence and peat smoke carry through, with damp camp fire and worn leather elements present in the finish.
