About This Whisky
Longrow 18 Year Old is the aged tier of Springbank's peated malt, released in small batches with a cask recipe that changes from year to year.
Bottled in September 2021, this release combines spirit from three cask types: 60% sherry, 30% bourbon and 10% Chardonnay.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Soft peat, dried apricot and raisin, with leather, orange peel and a dunnage-warehouse earthiness.
- Palate: Oily and layered, with sherry fruit, honey, gentle smoke and a salty, savoury core.
- Finish: Long, with ash, sea salt and spice.
Serving & Food
Serve it just under room temperature in a tulip glass and let it sit, as older Longrow opens slowly. Good company for smoked duck breast, a mature Manchego, or dark chocolate with orange.
Good to Know
What casks? Sherry, bourbon and white wine casks.
Is it very smoky? No. The peat sits behind the fruit.

About the Distillery
Springbank first distilled Longrow, its heavily peated malt, in 1973, reviving the name of a Campbeltown distillery that ran from 1824 to 1896. The Mitchell family has owned Springbank since 1837.
