Longrow Peated is a distinctive whisky cherished by enthusiasts who revel in bold, peaty flavors. With an ABV of 46%, it strikes a harmonious balance between smoky and sweet, owing to its maturation in both Bourbon and Sherry casks. This dual aging process bestows a rich complexity upon the whisky, infusing it with notes of vanilla and caramel from the Bourbon casks, complemented by hints of fruit and spice from the Sherry casks.
Tasting Note by Springbank:
Nose: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. Toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.
Palate: Incredibly well balanced; rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, like the soft billows of smoke from the Kiln.
Finish: The gentle smoke lingers and lingers leaving you yearning for more.
