Cadenhead's Campbeltown Blended Whisky
Cadenhead's Campbeltown Blended Whisky
This particular example we know is Longrow from Springbank distillery, which was confirmed by the store manager at the time of purchase and is much older than what they normally offer in the shop casks. The story goes that during the 2014 summer months in Edinburgh, there was tourist run on anything peated. The shop eventually had no peated whisky whatsoever to sell, so an emergency call was put into Campbeltown and a Longrow cask was bottled and sent over to be poured back into the shop living cask.
The result is an excellent whisky bottled at 49.5% cask strength and purchased from the shop in September 2014. Needless to say, once word got out how good this cask was, its contents soon sold out. Having tasted this whisky ourselves in 2014, we can vouch for how good it is.
Longrow is not actually a standalone distillery but a heavily peated variant of single malt whisky produced by the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Established in 1973 as an experimental peated malt, Longrow was named after a now-defunct distillery that once stood adjacent to Springbank. It is double-distilled and peated to between 50 and 55 ppm, offering a robust, smoky flavor profile distinct from the lighter Springbank or unpeated Hazelburn whiskies made at the same distillery. Longrow's core expressions include the Longrow Peated, Longrow Red - which varies annually with different red wine cask finishes, and aged expressions like the Longrow 18 and 21 Year Old. This whisky embodies the traditional, hands-on approach of Springbank, with all aspects of production, from malting to bottling, done on-site.
