Springbank is one of a handfull of distilleries in Scotland to malt, distil, mature and bottle on the same site. It does this while operating a highly complex distillation regime, which creates three different styles; Springbank, Hazelburn and Longrow. Springbank is medium-peated, Hazelburn is unpeated and triple distilled and Longrow is their heavily peated variant. Springbank employs very long fermentation times (in excess of 100 hours) which produces a lot of fruity esters in the wash. William Reid established Springbank Distillery in 1828 and sold it to his in-laws, John and William Mitchell, in 1837 and it has remained in the family ever since. In 1992 Springbank Distillery was commisioned to produce the world’s first organic whisky, Da Mhile.
Springbank Longrow
46% abv
First distilled in 1973, Longrow is a double distilled, heavily peated single malt. The first distillation was carried out as an experiment when the Springbank chairman set out to prove that it was possible to produce an Islay-style single malt whisky on the mainland. This experiment produced a whisky so special that Longrow was distilled again a few years later and has become an important part of the Mitchell’s portfolio, with regular distillation having taken place since 1992.The barley used in the production of Longrow is entirely peat dried, giving the whisky a wonderfully smokey, peaty character. The nose is very creamy, with hints of vanilla custard. The smoke develops gradually, rather than overpowering the other aromas present. The palate is incredibly well balanced, with the smoke washing over the palate in waves. This will leave you yearning for more!
