Longrow Peated Cask Strength 114 Proof Batch #2 700ml

Longrow Peated Cask Strength Batch #2 is a rare, limited annual release from the legendary Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Named after a long-lost distillery that once stood beside Springbank, Longrow has been crafted since 1973 as a bold, heavily peated counterpart to its sister expressions — double distilled, peat-dried for up to 48 hours, and built for those who demand the full, uncompromised Campbeltown experience. Batch #2 is bottled at a commanding 114 Proof (57% ABV) straight from a combination of refill bourbon and refill Pinot Noir casks, non-chill filtered and free of added coloring. The Pinot Noir influence adds a subtle red fruit complexity that sets this expression apart from classic peated Scotch, weaving dark berry notes through the smoke and maritime character that define the Longrow style. Nose: Medicinal peat smoke opens the glass, followed by redcurrant, lemon zest, sea salt, and a hint of vanilla from the bourbon cask maturation. Bold and inviting. Palate: Rich and oily with earthy, assertive peat at the core. Layers of crème brûlée, roasted almonds, dark fruit, black pepper, and salted caramel develop with each sip. The Pinot Noir cask influence adds a distinctive dried berry note that softens the smoke beautifully. Finish: Long, warming, and deeply satisfying — lingering peat smoke, coastal brine, toasted spice, and a gentle sweetness that keeps you coming back.
