Longrow 21 Year Old (Springbank)
For me, this is the sweet spot of the Longrow range. The heavily peated Springbank mellows out over the 21 year maturation process.
The oldest whisky in the Longrow core range, the annually released 21 year old has a different maturation with each release. Sweet peat smoke and maritime notes show Longrow at its best in this most recent edition. This 2019 bottling has been 60% Sherry 40% Bourbon cask matured and there were only a total of 3000 bottles released.
Tasting Notes:
Nose
A soft peat influence introduces this dram, reminiscent of smoked mussels and cured meats, balanced with sweet notes of apricot and peach.
Palate
The peat influence becomes more robust on the palate while retaining the coastal characteristics typical to Longrow, with notes of seaweed and samphire coming through. The sweetness from the nose persists in notes of soft, ripe berries.
Finish
A delicate, creamy finish, there are notes of raspberries, caramelised butter, cranachan and prolonged peat smoke.
