Longrow Peated

Longrow peated is produced at the Springbank distillery in Cambletown. It is non chill filtered, non age statement as seems to be the current trend. Thankfully no caramel is added and this is obvious as it's a very pale spirit. Springbank started Longrow in 1973 as a project to produce a peated Whisky. The first Longrow hit the shelves around 1990 and now there are several expressions. I like this one.

Nose: Salty, leather, smoke, caramel Palate: Smoke, salt, peat, oak, pepper, honey Finish: the smoke lingers for a medium long finish.

I tried it with and without a drop of water. Overall water does open it up but only add a tiny, tiny drop. I like it better neat. Not an Islay but still good work.
