Longrow 18 Year Old (2024 Release) is a masterpiece of Campbeltown craftsmanship, showcasing a bold yet refined character. This peated single malt has been patiently matured for 18 years, with 90% of its time spent in rich sherry casks and the remaining 10% in vibrant port casks. The result is a whisky of remarkable depth and complexity. On the nose, you'll discover layers of dried fruits, smoky embers, and dark chocolate, intertwined with hints of red berries and toasted nuts. The palate is velvety and full-bodied, offering flavors of figs, treacle, and spiced oak, all balanced by the signature Longrow peat smoke. The finish is long and warming, with a subtle interplay of sweet and savory notes. A truly exceptional release that celebrates the art of maturation and the unique character of Campbeltown whisky.
