The Longrow Red Peated Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a rare and exquisite 11-year-old expression from the esteemed Springbank distillery's "Red" range of heavily peated single malts. This limited edition release, consisting of 9,000 bottles, is the sixth in the series and follows the Malbec release. Initially aged for nine years in ex-bourbon casks, the whisky was then transferred to Cabernet Franc barrels sourced from De Toren Private Cellars in Stellenbosch, South Africa, for an additional two years of maturation. Bottled at cask strength (55.9% ABV) and non-chill filtered, this single malt exemplifies the distillery's unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Located in Campbeltown, Scotland, the Springbank distillery is owned by J & A Mitchell & Company, a family-operated business that also manages Glengyle Distillery, William Cadenheads (the oldest independent bottler), and several other blended scotch labels. Established in 1828, Springbank remains one of the last surviving producers of single malt whiskies in Campbeltown, an area once renowned for its numerous distilleries. Longrow expressions are celebrated for their peated, double-matured single malts. This particular 11-year-old release underwent nine years of maturation in bourbon barrels followed by a two-year finish in Cabernet Franc Barriques from the De Toren Private Cellar. Unfiltered and bottled at cask strength, this whisky offers a unique and memorable tasting experience for both enthusiasts and collectors.
