Description
Our Longrow Red, always bottled at cask strength, is released annually in small quantities and every year a different type of red wine cask is used to mature the whisky.
Offering a different sensation from Longrow Peated, this whisky is smooth, elegant and subtly juicy. The latest release is 11 years old, bottled at 53.1%, and spent 8 years in bourbon casks before completing its maturation with 3 years in Refill Pinot Noir Barriques.
Nose:
Creamy, red apples. Homemade rhubarb crumble with lots of confectionery notes. Red liquorice and maraschino cherries.
Palate:
Delicate, soft and smooth. Perfect balance of Pinot Noir wine & Longrow. Red fruits, raspberry jam and cranberry. Followed by burnt embers and tobacco leaf with hints of smoke.
Finish:
More of the Longrow characteristics: Creamy, smoky, sultanas, and some nuttiness.
