Slightly more peated than Springbank and although levels claim to be around 35-50 it never tastes like this thanks to the excellent orangey-cured meat tropical new make that goes into this. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLongrow is double distilled where Springbank is 2.5 times distilled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is a chance to taste the Longrow from a time gone being distilled in the 80s. Thanks to the non digital methods of Springbank, it is difficult to often place the exact releases until new bottles codes came into circulation bring printed onto them. The lack of barcode indicates early 90s \/ late 80s. The fact that 1991 onwards had extra notification of the release of year puts this  behind 1991 in age. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst distilled in 1973, Longrow is the peated single malt produced at Springbank distillery. Although very popular, Longrow remains an elusive whisky, with only 100-150 casks of it filled at the distillery each year. Early champions of this spirit included the legendary Italian bottler, Silvano Samaroli, who bought and bottled a number of famous casks from the inaugural vintage, and is credited by many with a good deal of the brand's success. It remains revered by connoisseurs to this day. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003c\/strong\u003e Salt and a leathery smokiness come to the fore in a maritime combination, like a Harbourmaster's Jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and sweet with notes of green grapes and rhubarb, a great contrast to the nose.
