Longrow 14 Year Old Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Longrow · Springbank Distillery
Longrow represents Springbank's heavily peated expression, and at fourteen years the smoke has mellowed into something integrated and sophisticated. This is Campbeltown at its most characterful—briny, smoky, and deeply layered. A masterclass in what patience does to peat.
Nose
Rich peat smoke intertwined with honey and ripe peach, followed by notes of dried fruit and a maritime mineral edge. Underneath, there's a gentle floral quality reminiscent of rosewater.
Palate
Full-bodied and layered, with smoky malt giving way to caramel, dark cocoa, and earthy undertones. The sherry cask influence brings dried fruit sweetness that tempers the phenolic intensity, while a woody spice builds steadily.
Finish
Long and complex, with smoldering peat, clove spice, and a lingering honeyed sweetness. The smoke recedes gradually, leaving warm oak and a faint medicinal note.

Food Pairing
The smoke of the salmon echoes Longrow's peat character, while crème fraîche provides a cooling counterpoint to the whisky's spice and dried fruit sweetness.
Produced at Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown—one of only three remaining distilleries in a town that once housed over thirty—Longrow is double-distilled and heavily peated, a deliberate contrast to the distillery's other expressions.

Springbank 15 Year Old
Springbank
This 15-year-old expression sits at the sweet spot of Springbank's range — old enough for the sherry casks to assert themselves, young enough to retain the distillery's characteristic funk and energy.
