Longrow Peated Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml
Longrow Peated offers those who enjoy a heavily peated whisky the chance to enjoy a lingering, smoky taste that travels through the senses like the smoke billows from a kiln.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Very creamy, vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. Toasted marshmallows, herbs and rich fruits appear over time.
Palate: Incredibly well balanced; rich and creamy with a slight medicinal hint. The smoke is always present, washing over the palate in waves, like the soft billows of smoke from the Kiln.
Finish: The gentle smoke lingers and lingers leaving you yearning for more.
"This whisky is a bit two-faced with dominant dessert aromas of vanilla custard and caramel, but also follows through with rich ash, moderate peat and a brininess that lends to memories of a fisherman's well-seasoned leather logbook. The same follows suit on the palate, but again, a tale of two malts. The first tale speaks of creamy and rich vanilla caramel, and delicate fruits, and the second tale finds you taking a walk on the beach on a cold day surrounding yourself with medicinal and vegetal notes from the sea breeze intertwined with smoke from the hearths of the nearby village. There is a lingering salty smokiness that provides a satisfying finish for the Islay scotch lovers that are looking to discover something new, whilst enjoying something also quite familiar." - Ryan Conklin, Distiller
