The Longrow 2000 - Gaja Barolo is a 7-year-old single malt whisky distilled at the renowned Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. This exceptional expression is part of the Longrow range, celebrated for its heavily-peated, double-distilled malt. Initially matured for 5 and a half years in refill bourbon hogsheads, it was then transferred to fresh Gaja Barolo casks for an additional 18 months, infusing it with a unique character. Bottled in January 2008, this rare release is one of only 12,120 bottles produced globally. Each bottle is offered at cask strength (55.8% ABV) and is non-chill filtered, preserving its natural flavors and complexity. The use of Gaja Barolo casks, from the distinguished Italian winemaker, imparts a distinct depth and richness to the whisky's flavor profile. Packaged elegantly in a box, this limited edition is a spectacular addition to any whisky collection. Longrow has played a significant role in Springbank's illustrious history, with its first distillations dating back to 1973 and 1974. These early vintages are now highly coveted and achieve premium prices at auctions. Presently, Longrow's production accounts for roughly 10% of Springbank's output, making it a rare and treasured whisky in the distillery's portfolio.
