Official tasting notes.
Nose: Very fruity! Toffee apples, pears and strawberry chocolates in the background; salted popcorn kernels, mint leaves and honey.
Taste: Salty and coastal, the fruitiness continues with raisins, chocolate orange and prunes. A dryness develops with demerara sugar and digestive biscuit.
Finish: Drying BBQ spices; cayenne pepper and paprika followed by cinnamon sugar, oats, pecan nuts and the typical gentle Longrow smokiness.

Bottling Notes
Here’s something different from Springbank, a 14-year-old peated whisky matured exclusively in Oloroso sherry casks. It’s a contentious offering as many in the industry believe that Springbank have never covered themselves in glory with their sherry cask expressions, while others are excited to see Longrow embarking on a new path.
It’s a definite conversation starter whisky, and throw in the fact that many reviews mention some sulphur in the mix (whether you love or loath), and you have yourself a unique whisky that is sold out almost everywhere around the world and won’t last too long on our virtual shelves.
