Longrow Red 13 Year Old - Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon Cask Matured
Springbank
Tasting Notes
This heavily peated Longrow Red single malt whisky from the Springbank Distillery is a true masterpiece. Matured for 13 long years in casks that previously held Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon wine, it boasts a remarkable flavor profile that harmoniously blends the smoky and sweet elements. The nose greets you with roasted oak and stewed fruit aromas, accompanied by a boozy, rich red wine essence and a festive touch of spice. On the palate, the powerful notes of cherry and blackcurrant shine through, with a hint of jammy sweetness, while the smoky character adds a savory, almost salty edge. The finish is seemingly endless, unveiling layers of dark chocolate, earthy herbal notes, and a subtle hint of tobacco. This exceptional whisky is a true testament to the art of cask maturation and a must-try for peat and wine enthusiasts alike.
