Longrow CV (Curriculum Vitae) Campbeltown Single Malt Whisky 750ml

Once sold out, more due back in stock the end of May. Guess who the "Guest Taster" was below? K & L own Spirits Buyer, Susan Purnell! Susan did a six weeks distillery sabbatical in Scotland this past winter and spent two weeks at Springbank. Distillery Tasting Notes: We said " Come on boys, we want a Longrow with the maximum smoke and peat, yet with balance and complexity and maturity" Frank McHardy said "B*st@rds! Do I look like Jim McEwan?" Stuart Robertson said "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" 6 months later, and after trying various combinations of ages, cask types and cask sizes here is the result. Using Longrow from 6 - 14 years old and casks from 50 litres up to 550 litres, the boys feel that they have discovered the best of the Longrow characteristics. This is sure to become a classic and draw many more connoisseurs to the hitherto secret delights of Campbeltown's peated malt. Colour: Light amber with slight olive highlights Nose: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, like a slow burning log fire, never overpowering but always reassuring. Our guest taster was reminded of marshmallows toasted on a campfire - crisp on the outside and sticky sweet in the middle! 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! 46% ABV
