Due to limited stock, this product has been limited to 6 bottles per customer
One of the least know peaty malts in Scotland, but one of my personal favourites, the ever-unassuming Longrow satisfies and rewards with equal measure. Produced at Springbank, Longrow is so-named to separate it from the usual modestly peated output of that first-class distillery. This is more earthy than saline, with bracken and mossy notes to balance the delicious sweetness of American oak. As glorious, and enervating, as a crystal-clear January morning looking out from atop the Mull of Kintyre.

About this spirit
Springbank Distillery, Campbeltown
Barley
Barley is a key ingredient in the production of some of the world's most renowned spirits, particularly whiskey and Scotch whisky. Malted barley is used as the primary grain in many single malt and blended Scotch whiskies, where it contributes a distinct malty, nutty, and sometimes smoky flavour profile. In addition to Scotch, barley is also a staple in the production of Irish whiskey, where it often lends a smoother, creamier taste. The versatility of barley as a grain makes it a favorite for creating complex and deeply nuanced spirits cherished by enthusiasts worldwide.
