The 2022 limited release of Longrow Red sees the oily, peated Campbeltown single malt age for seven years in bourbon casks before ageing for an additional four years in tawny Port casks. 8,400 bottles were produced at a punchy cask strength of 57.5% ABV, with no added colour or chill filtration for plenty of red fruit character in amongst the heady smoke.
Tasting Notes
NOSE
Summer pudding with nutmeg and damp ashes.
PALATE
More juicy red fruits, currants and dried cherries, with set honey and meaty smoke.
FINISH
Savoury, with peat lingering alongside smoked almonds, and a hint of citrus.
