Longrow Single Cask 21 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Fresh sherry makes for another deeply coloured entry in the 2022 Springbank collection, this time going head to head with Longrow's heavily peated distillate. Reports have it to be one of the smallest outturns in the series. The box presentation sees a slight change. Others will note the lower than expected ABV of 40.5%. Needless to say, allocations are next to nothing.

Ever since 1973, a run of twice distilled peated malt has been produced at Springbank (Springbank itself is two and a half times distilled). Named after an earlier distillery in Campbeltown, Longrow's creation was prompted by a whisky shortage. According to Serge Valentin, it shares parallels with Tobermory’s Ledaig and Clynelish’s Brora. All were created because Islay whisky was in short supply after severe droughts in the late 1960s, and because of the temporary closure of Caol Ila. Non chill filtered.
