Longrow 100 Proof Peated Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 57,1%

Round two of Longrow 100 Proof proves that cask strength doesn't have to come at the cost of balance. The power is still there, but this batch has its own fingerprint from the casks.

Expert Description

Longrow 100 Proof Batch 2 is a Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky distilled at Springbank, bottled at cask strength, 57.1%.

Like Batch 1, this release is double distilled and defined by an intense peat smoke, deep complexity and a clear maritime edge. The full, oily mouthfeel is backed by notes of charred wood, salted caramel and dark chocolate that fuse into a long, smoky experience - a clear tribute to Campbeltown's whisky traditions.

Charred wood and salted caramel meet dark chocolate and a pronounced, medicinal smoke.

Palate

Full and oily with spice and a charred sweetness that binds the smoke together with a light salty edge.

Finish

Long, smoky and lightly salted, with a lingering warmth from the high strength.
