Longrow 18 Year Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 92 Proof (46% ABV) | 700ml

Mature, smoky, and unmistakably Campbeltown, Longrow 18 Year Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited expression produced at the historic Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Aged for 18 years and bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof) in a 700ml bottle, Longrow 18 combines the brand's signature peat smoke with rich fruit, dark chocolate, maritime salinity, and mature cask character.

Process & Aging

Produced entirely at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Longrow is the distillery's heavily peated, double-distilled style of single malt Scotch whisky. Longrow was first produced in 1973 and has remained part of Springbank's production calendar since the 1990s.

Longrow 18 is matured for a minimum of 18 years, allowing its characteristic peat smoke to integrate with deeper fruit, oak, and maritime flavors.

Cask compositions can vary between releases. For example, the 2024 edition was matured in a combination of 90% Sherry casks and 10% Port casks, while previous vintages have used different combinations of Sherry, Bourbon, and other cask types. Because no vintage was specified for this bottle, the individual bottle should be referenced for its exact cask composition.

Appearance

Rich golden amber with warm copper highlights, reflecting its extended 18-year maturation.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Complex and inviting with sweet fruit, citrus, peach, and orange zest followed by earthy peat smoke and mature oak.

Palate: Rich and beautifully balanced with layers of dark chocolate, creamy coffee, gingerbread, rhubarb, and vanilla custard, complemented by Longrow's signature smoky character.

Finish: Long and gently sweet with lingering peat smoke, chocolate, dried fruit, and subtle maritime character.

What Makes It Special

Longrow 18 Year stands apart through the combination of extended maturation and Springbank's heavily peated Longrow production style.

Unlike Springbank's namesake whisky, which is lightly peated and distilled two-and-a-half times, Longrow is more heavily peated and double distilled, producing a richer, smokier expression of Campbeltown single malt.

Eighteen years of maturation allows that peat character to become more integrated and refined, developing alongside rich fruit, chocolate, oak, and maritime flavors rather than dominating the whisky.

Longrow 18 is also part of Springbank's limited core Longrow range, making it a particularly desirable expression for enthusiasts and collectors of mature Campbeltown whisky.

How to Enjoy

Best enjoyed neat in a whisky tasting glass to appreciate the interaction between mature fruit, peat smoke, oak, and Campbeltown maritime character.

Allow the whisky several minutes to rest after pouring. A few drops of water can also help reveal additional layers of fruit, chocolate, sweetness, and smoke.

Brand Story

Longrow is the heavily peated single malt produced by Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. First distilled in 1973, Longrow began as an experiment intended to demonstrate that an intensely smoky, Islay-inspired style of single malt could be produced on the Scottish mainland.

Today, Longrow remains an important part of Springbank's portfolio and is distinguished by its heavy peat and double distillation. Longrow 18 Year takes that robust foundation and adds nearly two decades of maturation, creating a more mature and layered interpretation of the distinctive smoky, oily, and maritime character that defines Longrow.
