Longrow Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Longrow Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold Campbeltown expression crafted at the legendary Springbank Distillery. First distilled in 1973 and named after a long-lost local distillery, Longrow is heavily peated and double distilled to create a robust, oily spirit with unmistakable maritime character. Matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks and bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration or colouring, it delivers depth, authenticity and old-school Scottish craftsmanship in every dram.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Deep amber in the glass, the nose opens with maritime salt and leathery smoke, like a sea-worn harbour jacket. Creamy vanilla custard and toasted marshmallow sweetness follow, layered with green grapes, rhubarb and a faint herbal lift of pine and gorse. The palate is rich and oily, rolling in waves of creamy peat smoke balanced by candied lemon, green apple and sultanas. The finish is exceptionally long, ashy and gently drying, with lingering spice, sea salt and soft medicinal warmth.

Craftsmanship & Story

Established in 1828, Springbank remains one of Scotland’s most revered and independent distilleries. Every stage of production—floor malting, distillation, maturation and bottling—takes place on-site in Campbeltown. Longrow represents the distillery’s heavily peated style, created to showcase a smokier, oilier profile than the classic Springbank range. Using traditional direct-fired stills and worm-tub condensers, Springbank preserves an unmistakable old-world character that has earned a devoted global following.

Special Features

Longrow Peated stands apart through its traditional production and powerful peat influence. The barley is dried for 48 hours over peat smoke, then double distilled to produce a weightier, more robust spirit. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration or added colour, it retains its natural texture and depth. Matured in bourbon and sherry casks, it balances creamy sweetness with maritime smoke, embodying Campbeltown’s distinctive coastal style.

Recognition & Accolades

Highly regarded among critics and enthusiasts alike, Longrow Peated enjoys strong international recognition:

• Winner – World Whiskies Awards, 2013 (Best Campbeltown Single Malt)
• Highly Rated – Whiskyfun & specialist reviewers
• Consistently Excellent Reviews – Whisky forums and global retailers

Its cult following and expert praise reinforce Longrow’s standing as a benchmark peated malt from Campbeltown.

Cocktail Pairings

While exceptional neat, Longrow brings smoky depth to classic serves. A Penicillin amplifies its medicinal peat against honey and fresh ginger, while a Smoky Rob Roy draws out dark fruit and herbal notes. A Campfire Sour highlights toasted marshmallow sweetness, and a smoky riff on a Blood and Sand balances citrus and cherry against lingering ash and sea salt.

Food Pairing

Fresh oysters mirror its maritime saltiness, while smoked brisket or grilled venison echo its ashy peat and oily richness. The whisky’s vanilla and marshmallow notes soften charred edges, creating harmony between smoke and savoury depth. Finish with 70% dark chocolate, where bitter cocoa anchors the lingering ash and spice for a warm, satisfying close.

Perfect for Gifting or Sipping
