Longrow Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description Longrow Peated Longrow Peated Single Malt is a distinctive and highly regarded expression from the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. It’s one of three distinct single malts produced by Springbank, alongside the namesake Springbank (medium-peated, 2.5 times distilled) and Hazelburn (unpeated, triple distilled). Flavour Profile (Longrow Peated NAS, general notes): Longrow Peated provides a distinctly Campbeltown take on peat—it is often described as more earthy, maritime, and “dirty” or “funky” compared to the highly medicinal or intensely ashy smoke of many Islay whiskies. Nose: Often described as very creamy with vanilla custard, toasted marshmallows, and developing smoke that doesn’t overpower. Herbal notes, rich fruits, and a characteristic Campbeltown coastal or mineralic undertone are common. Some detect a slight medicinal or TCP note. Palate: Incredibly well-balanced, rich, and creamy. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, often described as soft and billowy. Hints of a slight medicinal quality, sweet malt, and sometimes dried fruit or even a touch of pineapple. It tends to be oily and full-bodied. Finish: A long and lingering gentle smoke, often with a subtle brininess, notes of smoked wood, and sometimes a dry, peppery conclusion. Longrow Peated is a must-try for peated whisky enthusiasts looking for something different from the typical Islay profiles. Its unique Campbeltown character, combined with Springbank’s meticulous production methods, makes it a truly distinctive and rewarding dram.
