Tasting Notes
Longrow 13 Year Old 2005 is a captivating and robust whisky crafted by the esteemed Springbank distillery. This expression emerges as a symphony of smoke and sweetness, a testament to the skill of the distillers. The nose unveils a delightful dance of smoky tendrils entwined with notes of dark chocolate and luscious red fruits, courtesy of the Port cask maturation. Subtle hints of sulphur add a compelling complexity to the aroma. On the palate, rich smokiness mingles harmoniously with zesty orange peel, creamy chocolate, and a touch of sea salt, while oak dryness lends a firm structure. The finish lingers with jammy berry notes and a smoky oak farewell, leaving a lasting impression on the senses. This limited-edition whisky, bottled at cask strength for the Campbeltown Malts Festival in 2018, is a true gem for those seeking a bold and layered dram that showcases the mastery of Longrow's heavily peated spirit.
