Tasting notes
A combination of 6, 10, and 14 year old Longrow. I was concerned that there would be too much young whisky in here (like there was with the Springbank C.V. several years ago), but this isn’t the case. Youthful? Yes. Immature? No. A Longrow with an attitude. Creamy, sweeter vanilla notes up front, with kiln smoke, sea-soaked stone, tar, anise, chocolate fudge, and apricot. I would like to see more of the older whisky in here, because it leans towards the young side, but it is still a vibrant, enjoyable whisky.

About the producer
Springbank is one of the most highly sought-after whisky producers from the once-prolific Campbeltown region. When Springbank was established on the site of a former illicit still by Archibald Mitchell in 1828, it became the 14th licenced distillery in Campbeltown.
