Longrow, 10 year old, 50%

Price: 120.00 Issue: Winter 2006 Reviewer: John Hansell Category: Single Malt Scotch

This peated expression of Springbank is fresh, powerful, and unbridled. A brief, gristy, sweet malt intro quickly becomes quite aggressive, with an attack of tar, damp peat, kippers, mustard seed, Spanish olives, and Poire Williams. The sweetness emerges again briefly, before succumbing to an assertive, fiery finish.
