Longrow 18y

Longrow 18y is a(n) whisky from Scotland by the brand Longrow. It falls within the whisky group under the category Single Malt. This whisky comes from the Campbeltown region. It is one of the many references you can currently buy online at Drankenshop Broekmans.

Only a very small quantity of Longrow is produced each year. As such, it is almost a miracle that barrels of at least 18 years old remain to make this whisky, despite the high demand from the whisky world for products from Springbank's stable. So take advantage of it, because this Longrow 18yo is not only limited edition and rare, it is also relatively affordable and just plain delicious too.

This version had a mixed maturation of 90% sherry casks and 10% porto casks. This gives it a unique and rich flavour profile.

On the nose, the dark fruits (blackberry jam), walnuts and liquorice immediately stand out. The smoky Longrow signature is present, but nicely intertwined by the long ageing. The peat smoke continues on the palate. The fruit evolves into black forest cake, maraschino cherries and dates. A distinct component of black chocolate (ganache) makes its appearance. The finish is long and smooth. Coffee beans come to mind, as do sea salt and the ubiquitous peat smoke.

A dram to take your time with, just like the people at Springbank did before the long ageing!

This whisky is matured in Sherry Matured barrels. It is a version of 70 cl and has an alcohol content of 46%.
