Sweet smooth warm red fruit and herbal arrival developing an iodine peat loaded middle, flowing into an ashy wood loaded long slow thick finish.
Longrow 10 Year Old
Average score from 3 reviews and 6 ratings 77
Delicate hay color. Custard, earth, peat, dirt, vanilla wrapped caramel in the nose. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with less sweetness, and more peat smoke. It is still very well balanced though with nice tiny Band-Aid notes in the aftertaste. Overall, this is a fine Campbeltown single malt that I would surely sip again.
Verging on colourless, transparent. Nose is lightly peaty (by comparison to a native southern coast Islay), very salty seaweed. Flavour is barely peaty, with some alcohol and unripe appley fruit flavours.
I don't think it's a fait review since whisky changes year after year.
The 2007 was clearly using tired casks while the 2006 edition used quality sherry casks and it's simply among the greatest whiskies out there.
Where's the vintage states on these Longrow 10s? I have an open bottle that, as far as I can tell, states no vintage. It's just Longrow 10. I don't even see a bottling code etched anywhere.
For what it's worth, my bottle is a new (2014) purchase that probably sat on the shelf at least a couple years before the wife made it my anniversary gift. It's somewhat peaty, somewhat sweet, and not at all salty. I'm a bit disappointed.
