- Description
- This half-sized 35cl bottle of Longrow—Springbank's peated expression—was bottled at 54.9% ABV exclusively for the Springbank Open Day on May 25, 2023, drawn from four oloroso sherry hogsheads, with 2,000 bottles released. Campbeltown's mineral, briny character meets peat smoke and sherry's dried fruit sweetness, creating a robust, slightly funky profile characteristic of the region. The cask strength and oloroso maturation deliver substantial texture and a warming, persistent finish. A festival-exclusive for collectors and those seeking Campbeltown's uncompromising character at near-cask strength.
