Longrow 10 years Of.

The wine

A single malt from the Kintyre Peninsular distilled in 1994 at the Springbank distillery and aged for at least 10 years. Springbank is unusual in that it produces three styles of single malt, Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow. Of the three, Longrow is the peatiest (up to 55 ppm), although its intensity does vary from one bottling to another. The first distillation at the distillery dates from 1973. Bottle equipped with a cork stopper and stamped cream foil seal.

About the Producer Longrow(Springbank)

Scotland, Campbeltown – Mull of Kintyre. Original distillery closed. Owner: J&A Mitchell & Co Ltd.

Before becoming the second single malt distilled at Springbank, Longrow had its own distillery, the ruins of which can be found near Springbank's car park and bottling plant. Longrow was awarded a distillation license in 1824 but closed in 1896. In 1973, the Mitchells, descendants of a long dynasty of Campbeltown distillers, began distilling a heavily peated malt at Springbank (55 ppm). Longrow rose from its ashes and became Springbank's peated alter ego. Its production, however, was sporadic. No trace remains from the period 1975-1986. Records begin again in 1987 with a handful of bottlings for independent bottlers such as Signatory Vintage. During the same period, its owners bottled the first two years of the distillery's distillation, 1973 and 1974. These editions became an immediate hit among collectors and fans of peated whiskies.
