Oh, how lovely, a brand spanking new annual release of Longrow, matured for 21 years in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. Springbank has been on a bit of a roll of late, with a stunning array of new releases. Longrow 21 year old was bottled in 2019 at 46% vol, exciting stuff!
Tasting Notes
Longrow 21 Year Old - 2019 Release Producer Notes
Nose: There’s a rich and meaty smoke, like beef jerky and Iberico ham followed by toffee, salted popcorn and honeydew melon.
Palate: Initially dark forest fruits and prunes, then a rich creaminess, amaretti biscuits and sweet dried coconut. This is balanced with fennel, pine needles and a delicate spiciness.
Finish: It’s a delicious smooth finish with a citrus/ orange tang, concluding on a luxurious velvet note with a touch of smoke.
