This is the 2019 release of the highly sought after Longrow Red series from the masterful team at Springbank distillery. Heavily-peated, matured for 8 years in ex-bourbon casks and then finished for 3 years in refill ex-Pinot Noir barriques from New Zealand. A total of  9,000 bottles were produced. Bottled at a cask strength of 53.1%.

Nose: Creamy, red apples. Homemade rhubarb crumble with lots of confectionary notes. Red liquorice and maraschino cherries.

Palate: Delicate, soft and smooth. A perfect balance of Pinot Noir wine and Longrow. Red fruits, raspberry jam and cranberry. This is followed by burnt embers and tobacco leaf with hints of smoke.

Finish: More of the Longrow characteristics; creamy, smoky, sultanas and some nuttiness.
