Longrow "Red" 7 Year Old Fresh Pinot Noir Cask Peated Single Malt Scotch Whiskey 700 mL
(Campbeltown, Scotland)

About the Distillery:
Springbank distillery is the oldest independent, family-owned distillery in Scotland. Legal distillation began in 1828. The chairman is Hedley Wright, the great, great grandson of John Mitchell, the first legal distiller of Springbank whisky. There are a few Scottish distilleries that still malt barley but Springbank is the only distillery which malts 100% of its own barley, using the traditional floor maltings. The whole production process: malting, milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling, happens on the one site in Campbeltown. This is unique in Scotland.

About the Whiskey:

A limited edition Longrow Red single malt from the gang at Springbank in Campbeltown! This edition of the heavily peated whisky spent four years maturing in bourbon casks, followed by a further three years in French Pinot Noir wine casks before it was bottled at a robust 57.1% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: A herbal, vegetal note is immediately apparent in notes of tomato plant and heather, along with touches of morello cherries and smoky bacon.

Palate: Sweet and savoury meet on the palate, with notes of smoked ham, wine gums, raspberry jam and honey.

Finish: Characteristic coastal notes come to the forefront in the finish of this dram.
