27/10/11 Longrow 13yo (1989)
Longrow, like Hazelburn, is whisky from the Springbank distillery. Longrow is the brand attached to the most heavily peated spirit they produce and this is only the second dram i’ve ever had.
Earthy, heavily peated, organic, vaguely composty, sodden oak. With water comes a lighter perfumed note of rose water and some salty coastal sea air.
Not nearly as heavily sherried as I expected, not really comparable to Uigeadail or Lagavulin DE but an enjoyable dram by any standards.
3/5
