Longrow Red 10 Year Old – Malbec Cask Finish is a distinctive peated Campbeltown single malt Scotch whisky from Springbank Distillery, part of the acclaimed Longrow “Red” series. A small-batch release, this expression marries the smoky intensity of Longrow with rich red-fruit complexity from South African Malbec refill barriques, creating a layered and captivating dram with both depth and finesse.
Tasting Notes:
Appearance: Warm bronze-gold with natural colour.
Nose: Chewy vanilla fudge, butterscotch and stewed rhubarb mingle with grape juice sweetness, delicate peat smoke and hints of red apples and black cherries.
Palate: Medium-full body. Subtle peat smoke is balanced by juicy red fruit — ripe cherries and apples — with notes of freshly baked pretzels, vanilla and sugar-coated almonds, followed by a developing earthy tobacco nuance.
Finish: Ashy and earthy, with lingering notes of burnt embers, warm buttered toast and tobacco leaf.
