Brand Story

Longrow is the heavily peated single malt produced at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. First distilled in 1973, Longrow originated as an experiment to demonstrate that an intensely smoky, Islay-inspired whisky could successfully be produced on the Scottish mainland. The experiment proved successful, and Longrow eventually became a permanent part of the Springbank portfolio.

The Longrow Red series builds upon this heavily peated foundation through distinctive wine-cask maturation. The 7 Year Pinot Noir Cask Matured release showcases that philosophy through four years in refill bourbon casks followed by three years in Burgundy Pinot Noir casks, bringing together intense Campbeltown peat, coastal character, and vibrant wine-driven fruit in a limited cask-strength expression.
