Process & Aging

Tasting Notes
Nose: Robust peat smoke leads into sweet malt, vanilla, citrus, coastal air, and earthy notes with hints of fruit and gentle spice.
Palate: Rich and full-bodied with layers of smoky malt, cooked cereal, vanilla, orchard fruit, pepper, sea salt, and earthy peat. Sweetness underneath the smoke provides balance while preserving Longrow's distinctly rugged character.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming with lingering peat, maritime salinity, malt sweetness, pepper, and subtle oak.
What Makes It Special
Longrow Peated offers a distinctly different interpretation of Campbeltown whisky from the traditional Springbank expression. While Springbank is lightly peated, Longrow was specifically developed to provide a more robust and peaty style.
Longrow was first produced at Springbank Distillery in 1973 as a heavily peated component for a blend being developed at the time. It was not until the 1990s that Longrow began being distilled regularly and became established as a single malt in its own right.
Today, Longrow Peated serves as the foundation of the Longrow range, offering enthusiasts an approachable way to experience Springbank's heavily peated style without sacrificing the oily texture, maritime influence, and traditional Campbeltown character associated with the distillery.
How to Enjoy
Best enjoyed neat in a whisky tasting glass to experience its combination of peat smoke, sweet malt, fruit, and maritime character. Allow the whisky several minutes to open after pouring, or add a few drops of water to reveal additional sweetness and fruit beneath the smoke.
