- Description
- Springbank's Longrow-branded peated expression spent 16 years in cask through an unconventional journey: seven years in fresh bourbon, then nine years in fresh Chardonnay wine cask, before bottling at cask strength. The wine maturation would have introduced fruit complexity and richness to Longrow's characteristic peat and brine character, creating an unusual layered profile. Only 360 bottles were produced, making this a rare opportunity to explore how wine finishes interact with Campbeltown peat.
