The Longrow Red Peated Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited edition gem from the esteemed Springbank Distillery, with a mere 9,000 bottles released worldwide. This 13-year-old whisky boasts a distinctive maturation process, beginning with ten years in a combination of bourbon barrels and refill sherry hogsheads. Following this initial aging, the whisky undergoes an additional three years of double maturation in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, sourced from Mont Gras' Intriga Estate in Alto Maipo, Chile. Bottled at full cask strength with an ABV of 51.6%, this peated single malt is a highly coveted offering from the house of Longrow. Known for its intricate interplay of smoky and fruity notes, this expression is a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation inherent in Springbank Distillery's approach to whisky making. The whisky’s complex flavor profile and remarkable balance make it a standout in the world of Scotch whisky.
Pricing differences can be attributed to various factors including import taxes, distributor pricing, and retailer markups. Additionally, each market may have different promotional strategies and supply chain costs.
This whisky is unique due to its double maturation process involving three years in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, which imparts distinct fruity and smoky notes that set it apart from other Longrow expressions.
The Cabernet Sauvignon barrel aging adds layers of red berry fruits, subtle wine notes, and a hint of dryness, which complement the whisky's inherent peat smoke and other flavors.
To fully appreciate the complexity of this whisky, it is recommended to enjoy it neat or with a few drops of water to open up the flavors and aromas. Pairing it with dark chocolate or a robust cheese can also enhance the tasting experience.
