Longrow 7 Year Old Gaja Barolo Wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

An old Campbeltown distillery, Longrow was first distilled and re-launched at Springbank distillery in 1973. Each year the distilling equipment at Springbank is cleaned and Longrow is made for a short time, double distilled in the traditional Scottish manner from malt dried entirely over a peat fire. For lovers of the Islay styles, Longrow is amongst the peatiest whiskies available, having one of the highest phenol contents (although bottlings have been reported to vary dramatically in this respect). Its limited availability has inspired an obsessive cult following, also making it highly collectable, though consistently pricey. The Longrow malts are typically matured in both sherry and bourbon casks.

This unusual seven year old Longrow is another edition to their "Wood Expression" series and was matured for five and a half years in refill Bourbon casks and then one and a half further years in fresh Gaja Barolo casks (Barolo is a famous and sought after Italian Red wine produced from the Nebbiolo grape). Free of artificial colouring & non-chill filtered. 55.8% Alc./Vol. Distilled October 2000. Bottled January 2008. 12,120 bottles produced.
