The 2023 release of Longrow 21 Year Old single malt is a finely crafted whisky from The Springbank Distillery. This edition is a blend of whiskies aged in 65% sherry casks and 35% bourbon casks. Longrow is distinguished by its peated character, achieved through a 48-hour peat drying process of the barley, and is made using the same traditional methods as Springbank. True to the distillery's commitment to authenticity, Longrow is produced entirely in-house, from distillation to bottling, without the addition of color or chill filtration.
Tasting Note by Springbank:
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 seaweed.
