Longrow
Named after another lost distillery of Campbeltown (which once operated right next door to Springbank and whose warehouse now houses our bottling hall), Longrow was first produced in 1973 to provide a peaty, oily and robust component to a blend being created at the time. More heavily peated and double distilled, it has been a staple in the production calendar since the 1990s.
Longrow Peated
Longrow Peated offers those who enjoy a heavily peated whisky the chance to enjoy a lingering, smoky taste that travels through the senses like the smoke billows from a kiln.
46% ABV
Matured in Bourbon and Sherry Casks
Our Price: £48.00
Nose
Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. Toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.
Palate
Incredibly well balanced; rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, like the soft billows of smoke from the Kiln.
Finish
The gentle smoke lingers and lingers leaving you yearning for more.
Longrow Red

Our Longrow Red is a limited annual release bottled at cask strength. Each year a different type of red wine cask is used to mature the whisky, with the latest release spending seven years in Bourbon casks followed by four years in Tawny Port casks.
57.5% ABV
Our Price: £70.00
Nose
Notes of redcurrants, blackberries and red cola, along with a damp, musty element, provide an inviting introduction to this dram.
Palate:
The sweet, fruity influence comes through in notes of red fruits, honey glaze and brandy baskets nicely balanced with smoky notes of barbecued meats.
Finish:
The peat builds in the finish and a salty, nutty note develops. Notes of rhubarb custard and roasted almonds round off this dram.
