Longrow Peated — молодой, сбалансированный дымный виски с торфом, который не доминирует, и с нотами дыма, солёности, цитрусовых, фруктов, мёда и кожи. Мнения расходятся: одни хвалят соотношение цены и качества и повседневную питкость, другие отмечают молодость, горечь, водянистость и короткий финиш.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах этот виски описывают как молодой, простой, но достаточно сбалансированный торфяной Campbeltown-солод, где торф присутствует, но не выходит на первый план: дым мягкий, интегрированный, скорее смолистый, иногда с медицинскими, землистыми, минеральными и пепельными оттенками. В аромате и вкусе часто упоминают солёность и морской оттенок, цитрусовые и фруктовые ноты (яблоко, груша, персик, тропические фрукты), мёд, ваниль, солод, специи (белый перец, имбирь, мускат), а также «грязный»/фермерский характер Springbank — сырные, слегка кислые, сенные, стойловые и древесные нюансы. Часть отзывов хвалит баланс, комплексность, соотношение цены и качества, называет его хорошим повседневным или «летним» вариантом и отмечает, что он улучшается в бокале; есть и прямо положительные оценки, включая описание как очень вкусного и сбалансированного, а также рекомендацию покупать.
При этом немало критики и противоречий: виски называют молодым, одномерным, водянистым, горьким, с коротким или «плоским» финишем, сухостью и заметным алкоголем; дым иногда кажется слабее ожидаемого, а сам напиток — «не торфяным» по ощущению. Некоторые предпочитают Springbank 10 или считают релиз невыдающимся, встречается прямое разочарование на фоне Springbank и неодобрение винного (красного) финиша в некоторых партиях; упоминаются также вариативность партий, лёгкая терпкость в финише, ноты жжёного пластика и школьных карандашей. Есть и более восторженные оценки с «индустриальными» нотами — дизель, сера, жжёная резина, латекс, металл — и длинным финишем; отдельно отмечается, что виски заменяет розлив Longrow CV.

a strange combination of mineral and buttery whisky, very dry, quite complex but everything happens really fast. the finish is a tad too short, i'd say. but it's really an incredible price/interest ratio.
N: Potent, dense, thick characteristic Springbank nose. The peat is very subtle, more yeasty than peaty. Fairly closed nose, some dried fruits in the background. Im getting that peat now, its a gritty engine oil peat at a level where it doesn’t distract from the overall presentation T: Single cream, buttery peat is apparent now, tailing off to reveal its green, herbal, salty, malty interior. F: Bourbon fruits, liquorice help sweeten the bitter herbal notes and a mineral salty hue concludes proceedings C: Pleasant but there are some finer expressions out there - Rundlets & Kilderkins for example Scores a B-
Rather young, simple style. Not as much to my liking as the older Longrow CV. Entry level peated malt.
For its NAS nature, I think this is a little too much on the bitter side, hence my lowish mark. Other than that, it is an enjoyable smoker from Campbeltown with a fair price for what it is offered.
Quote Whiskyfun.com - December 8, 2015: Longrow (46%, OB, +/-2015) Always a favourite at WF Towers, and proof that NAS, when appropriately priced (that is to say as if they were entry-level whiskies – which they are), can be great. Don’t just price them as if they were 18yos! Colour: straw. Nose: spirit. I could leave it at that. Buttered soot and old woollen jumper, gravel, first tropical rain over a very busy city somewhere in the far-east, coal smoke, bandages, raw malt… Brilliant! Mouth: fantastic. Powerful, raw, uncompromising (they could use Laphroaig’s tag lines), salty, earthy, lemony, medicinal, coastal… I especially love this feeling of salted lemons. Finish: long, more mineral, and more on seawater. As if Longrow was becoming more and more ‘Islay’. Comments: bang-for-your-buck provided you’re not a sweet-vanilla-and-coconut-above-all kind of whisky enthusiast. Otherwise it may be a little too challenging… Totally and utterly spirit-driven. SGP:356 - 89 points.
A Longrow NAS, it feels very young about 5 years i think. But Longrow has enough character to get away with this. For the same money i prefer the Springbank 10 years, more fruity and more complex.

You can feel Springbank's great character, but you can also notice on the palate and finish that this is too young
A bit more leaning toward Hazelburn with a kick of peat provides sweet, buttery, smoky, vanillas , honey, fruits , pear, pineapples, creamy butterscotch, applesauce and tropical fruits. The peat is light and balanced with fruity notes. Not a kicker peaty, maybe one for summer.
Direct comparison to a Hazelburn 10 from 2017, both the last drams from large bottles: Dirty, oily, balanced sweet and dry, no metallic youth, tasty.
Great balance, Sweet and herbal, nothing harsh about it. Just a nice peated whisky

| Нос | 83 | A spring greeting from Scotland with wildflowers and honey, accompanied by a spicy heat reminiscent of wasabi, horseradish, and ginger. Maritime notes of sushi and fresh tuna also resonate. |
| Вкус | 84 | The initial taste is velvety smooth and oily. Fruity aromas of banana, cherry, and pear mingle with a rather subtle, earthy smoke that is not as aggressive as in Islay whiskies. A slight bitterness emerges in the mid-palate. |
| Финиш | 81 | The finish is compared to an echo in the mountains: it is present, but becomes increasingly faint and pale. A slight barrel bitterness and a soft texture reminiscent of a mirabelle plum skin remain. |

Longrow Peated offers those who enjoy a heavily peated whisky the chance to enjoy a lingering smoky taste that travels through the senses like the smoke billows from a kiln. Tasting Notes by Springbank
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt Nose: Salt and a leathery smokiness come to the fore in a maritime combination, like a Harbourmaster's Jacket.Palate: Light and sweet with notes of green grapes and rhubarb, a great contrast to the nose. Then comes a big blast of smoke.Finish: That salty smokiness returns from the nose providing a deeply satisfying ending.Overall: A great entry-level offering from Longrow perfect for Islay fans looking for something a bit different.
The peat is present but does not dominate, the fruit predominates. I only miss the finishing touch. He is too thin and too robust in the alcohol. But the price-quality ratio is favorable to this whisky.

Nose:- Sharp, nail polish and decay aroma come to the fore, rounded with coaster note, addictive. Palate:- Sweet and moist as ripe grapes, good acidity. Malty and ashy. Finish:- Well balance, surprisingly subtle, not as aggressive as I am expecting. After the excitements and hypes from the nose and palate experienced, I do find the finishing slightly flat. — at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

Farmy smoked butter, with herbal sweets (Ricola), anchovies and pineapple. Distinct, complex and textured, even as a NAS with no doubt plenty of young whisky in the mix.
Longrow 46% Honestly admitted. Springbank is more of a legend to me than a famous friend. Even though I often hear that only positive words are spoken about it, this has not persuaded me to try more. But the bottlings I tried, I admit, blew me away. In addition, I was very surprised that the springbank version remains so much higher in price, but that the longrow and hazelburn do not seem to follow suit. If Springbank produces such a good product, what's wrong with their other two variations? Not that you'll hear me complain. Prices all too often skyrocket these days. Especially with this brand. But that's besides the point. My thoughts. I think it is a shame that the bottling has no age But if I were to guess, I don't think it's older. Otherwise they would certainly have mentioned this already. Odor: The scent reminds me of a sample I once received from a friend who went on holiday to Iceland. And brought me a bottle of Floki. A very pronounced whisky with heavy smoke smells, but also the wet moss smell mixed with honey were very prominent. That happens less here. Here I also smell that wild honey and wet moss. But more in the distance. As if it's still hanging in your clothes after a long walk. But there is also a light pepper note. Taste I didn't expect amazingly soft at 46%. The pepper is certainly still there but more in the background. There is more honey in the front. Yes, you can taste the smoke, but it certainly doesn't dominate. Although I thought the taste was nice and long and the mouthfeel nicely coated your papillae, I still felt like it gave me a slightly watery feeling. With water the scent is more pleasant with red fruit.. With water the taste is more peppery. Less pleasant. Almost peppermint. It looks like it is a bourbon barrel aging I certainly won't write the bottle off, but I think I need some more attention before I buy a full bottling of it.

The Whisky ist after the loss of the ten years old the best choice. Smoky, tanic and olive oiliness. Some bottles have more salt. It tast better than the rum finished version of 18 years.
5cl sample first tasting: Foreword: I've already had a lot of experience with Springbank, and I've also had a Hazelburn, but Longrow somehow never made it to me, even though I love smoke. So it's about time. I notice the fruit first, even before the smoke. A beautiful, robust fruit basket, peach and passion fruit. The smoke is nicely integrated. The typical, slightly dirty Springbank character is also evident here. Umami notes, "spicy" smoke – I would describe it as smoky, not "peaty." The fruit carries over into the flavor as well and is actually dominant before the smoke. It then becomes more prominent as the tobacco develops, again with the umami impression: fleshy, juicy. The "juicy" smoky aromas linger at the end. I like it a lot. Actually worth a buy.

You rarely find a malt, that is so cheap, so simple and yet providing so much pleasure while drinking. 84 very well earned points out of a hundred - despite of the low price, the missing complexity and the missing age. I rarely buy a second bottle after emptying the first one (because there are thousands of new expressions to be encountered). With this one, I just did. Because it's never bad to have a cheap, simple, but very quaffable, very enjoyable bottle with a guarantee for pleasure open on your shelf.An outstanding example of good scottish craftmanship in the lower price market segment.

Longrow Peated is one of the few Springbank bottlings that is readily available, but it is also the only one without an age statement. Is it any good? Youthful, earthy and slightly peppery, the nose opens up with coal smoke, pears and canned peaches, and I get hints of pinewood, spent matches and lemon peel. A dirty peat blast kicks off the palate, followed by tropical fruits, nutmeg and a touch of sea salt. Menthol, grapefruit and waves of oak spices fade in the sooty finish. It offers a different take on peated whisky, but I would not pay through the nose for it. RATING: 3.7/5.0 stars ≙ 85 pts → ABOVE AVERAGE [+]

A nice Campbeltown whisky with a slight smokiness, which I would have wished something stronger. Nice aromas on the nose, still solid taste. For a NAS bottling exciting, denoch rather entry into the Longrow range. In direct comparison, the less peated brother Springbank is 10 years much more intense and leaves more impression. All in all, a very nice malt that offers something different than sherry and sweetness.

Creamy, peat, lemon, butter, some farmy smells, funky stuff. In the taste also cinnamon, white pepper and a long finish with peat, sweet, cream and a little sour.

Didn't like an older edition a few years ago, but I really like this one now. Fruit between citrus and tropical, plus a mineral or maritime note, beautifully round, full-bodied sweet and a nice spiciness. The smoke is present, but not the main theme in this malt. But since I don't feel like scrambling for whisky, I'll probably stay with the one bottle.

Longrow Peated CSMSW, 46%. 25ml sample from HopScotch, consumed New Year’s Day 2026. Amber orange. Aroma is burnt candle wax or burnt plastic. Chewed up school pencils (red plastic coatings). Dried apple. Charcoals. Seared orange peel. Blind, based on aroma alone, I’d be thinking something along the lines of Säntis Dreifaltigkeit or an American peated single malt – it has that sort of plasticky, school pencil vibe. Body is watery. Taste is a dry mix of charcoal, black pepper and dark chocolate. Dry and bitter throughout. The char lingers on with a hint of burnt wax. Definitely not my favourite Springbank expression (and it’s not even remotely close to being so) but it’s a decent enough whisky. 3.35/80

A very good clean peaty entry level Campbeltown malt. This is probably not for everyone, as its profile is quite an acquired taste. But if you like Springbank and if you like young Islay, you can buy this whisky blind.

nose very light, grassy fresh, "typical" maritime ex-bourbon notes, the smoke is subtle, vanilla in echoes, little oak taste somewhat alcoholic, very "peaty" / peat smoke taste, although not so strong smoky, the mild, light smoke dominates the taste, quite sweet, light citrus fruit, goes towards unripe pineapple, Barely barrel, in the foreground is only the (if beautiful ) Brennereicharakter leaving Short, dries off easily, peat smoke Interesting, Longrow knows "only" by the Brennereicharakter to please, something barrel I miss anyway, something one-dimensional PS: tilts when the bottle is open for a long time in the direction of "bitter"
Peaty nose, yellow and green lemons and iodine. With aeration of the pancake batter made its appearance. Slightly oily texture, lots of peat and always pancake batter. Warming final of correct length. The mouth is not the most complex but this whisky has a beautiful personality. Good q / p.

Rounded, smooth, bready smokiness...
A very dear favorite for years, really since the first 1973/83 bottling (two versions of original and the superb 53% Samaroli bottling). A perfect ballance of springbank open fire distillate sweetness, perfect bourbon cask influence, and soft grassy hay peat smoke. Clean as a whistle, and always pure joy. For sub 50 Euritos a no brainer, practically a present. For years one of the two most reliable peaty whiskies, very, very high quality. Lately, there are some cask of red wine finish in the blend, which gives a note of berry confiture. I not very in favour of this bonbon touch, as it was perfect as it was. But I have a good stock of the "old" ones.
Deliciously peated, nicely smoky

"A whisky for those who find Springbank's Peat too weak" This is a whisky I would recommend to those who think that there is too little Scottish Mainland peat used in Springbank. It has a rather rough taste, but it is well covered by its unique complex taste, so it does not come across as a disadvantage. Although the finish does not last as long as long-aged products, the strong peat nuance continues subtly, leaving a good aftertaste.

| Нос | 84 | Smoked Cheese / Ash / Lemon Oil / Apple / Pear / Unripe Mango / Peach / Metallic / Nutmeg / Vanilla / Slight Floral - It seems to be a bit stronger than the alcohol content. However, since the alcohol content is not high, there is no great burden in smelling the scent. - The peat nuance is quite strong from the beginning. The cheese feeling is not strong, but the nuance of smoked products is strong, and there is also a lot of the feeling of ashes from burning firewood. There is a faint medicinal nuance and a hint of iodine, but it is not strong. - The fruit nuances are complex overall, but not too strong. There is a toned-down, soft, yet tangy citrus, like lemon oil. The freshness of apple, the coolness of pear, and the nuances of unripe mango are all mixed together. A little bit of peach-like stone fruit nuance is also mixed in, adding to the richness of the layers. The peach nuance sometimes feels like a canned peach. - The overall scent has a metallic nuance. The metallic feeling is not prominent, but it feels like it is slowly rising from the base. The spice of nutmeg is mixed in appropriately to provide balance. - A subtle vanilla is felt, suppressed by other scents, and a bit of floral brightness is felt together. |
| Вкус | 87 | Smoked Cheese / Ash / Peach / Toffee / Lemon Peel / Nutmeg / Pepper / Clove / Mint / Tropical Fruit / Apple / Vanilla / Milk Chocolate - In the mouth, you can feel the strong smoky nuance mixed with a creamy feeling of dairy products. It feels like a complex taste with a half and half of smoky and ash nuance, but the cheese-like aftertaste is not strong. However, the dairy nuance includes the nuance of canned peaches, so it also comes across as peach yogurt. - The sweetness of toffee is quite strong, and the moderately bitter citrus of lemon peel provides a good balance. The nutmeg scent, the stimulation of pepper, and the spice that seems to be a combination of clove and mint provide an even better balance. - The fruity feeling is also quite rich, and the tropical fruit nuance that comes to mind with jackfruit and coconut is quite strong. Among the tropical fruits, yellow flesh comes to mind. The slightly refreshing apple flavor is also added, making it even richer. The vanilla nuance is also quite strong, and gently wraps up the previous flavors. - Among milk chocolates, it has a soft bitterness that is closer to dark chocolate. |
| Финиш | 86 | Tropical Fruit / Coconut / Apple / Ash / Smoky / Toffee / Vanilla / Lemon Peel / Dark Chocolate / Nutmeg - The finish feels slightly longer than the middle. - Similar to what I mentioned in the taste, the tropical fruit nuance is quite strong, with yellow flesh coming to mind. Jackfruit and pineapple are representative examples. The soft and oily feeling of coconut is added. As time passes, the freshness of apple is added. - As the fruity nuances pass, the ash and smoky nuances become stronger. These nuances become stronger from the early to mid-scent, then gradually weaken and continue softly as the mid-scent passes. From the point when the smokyness begins to lose its strength, the sweetness of toffee, vanilla, and citrus of lemon peel come to mind. - The soft bitterness of dark chocolate with a cocoa content of close to 40% among dark chocolates and the appropriate nuance of nutmeg provide a good balance. |

The Longrow isn't a smoke bomb. The smoke is rather restrained and leans towards the earthy side. In my opinion, the aroma immediately reveals its Springbank family affiliation. I always get that cheesy, slightly sour note from Springbank, which I also find in the Longrow. Otherwise, it has a nice balance between sweetness, malt, wood, and earthy smoke. Not too old, but very tasty.

Malty and fruity aroma, oranges, lime, burnt almonds, banana, vanilla and dry hay. Vanilla sweet and smoky taste, eucalyptus, cardamom, apple, orange marmalade and malt. Medium long, spicy and smoky end.
Hard to tell apart from its predecessor the CV.
Nose: fresh earthy peat, a maritime saltiness, white fruit, grapes, lemon, pickles. Taste: full bodied, scorched wood, sweet and sour, honey, citrusfruits. Finish: quite long, charcoal, sweet fruits and bitter wood spices.

Nose: Ultra youth present, strong malta, almost new make. " Heavily Peated ", really? The smoke is rather thin and airy, it is far from the big peat that slams. And full of vanilla, youth obliges. Palate: The peat here is a little more present, but counterbalanced by the reduction. Vanilla, malt, smoke, and some spices afterwards. Finale: Always the young malt very present, the spices, and a slight fruity dryness. Verdict: It lacks the rustic that peat brings in many peaty whiskys, it is "nice" in addition to being very young. Not convinced by this expression.

21/21/21/21 84 I need a whole bottle of that tender briney smoke
An upscale nose and a more ordinary palate. An intense but still balanced peat lets through a sweetly fruity side, almost a custard. Sweetness that is repeated on the palate, closed by a spicy part. Slightly asteringent in the finish
Batches varying from 84-87
Longrow Peated *Age statement: NAS *Alcohol percentage at least 46%: yes, 46%. *Amount of filtration: stated on the back of the bottle as non-chillfiltered. *Use of caramel coloring {E150a}: unstated, but Germans claim there’s no ‘farbstoff’ in this, which must be disclosed in some European countries. (2 or 3 out of 4, regarding craft/integrity presentation). Without water Nose: honey, bread, red wine, extra virgin olive oil. Palate: bread pudding, Pepsi, squished cherry, saltine. Finish: cherry gummy, pomegranate juice, black berry. With water Nose: bagel, sesame seed, yeast, cooled off oven. Palate: Fanta, caramel sauce, dark fruit pastry. Finish: burned cracker, plum, hot jam. To start off, I’m not a fan of Springbank, I’ve tried the Campbeltown Loch before, which was well crafted, but not as explosive as I want whisky to be. This Longrow was destined to meet the same fate, because when I drank it mindlessly while reading, it was not all too impressive. But after analyzing and meditating upon it, it revealed itself as a beautiful and complex dram. While this may be the most peated offering of Springbank, it’s sparring and perhaps only noticeable on the later halve of the palate and on the finish. Rather than the peat dominance that I expected, there’s a bakery to be found that’s filled with sweet fruity flavors, with the slightest bit of sour and salt, although there are no bitter notes to be found. Nonetheless, do I find it beautifully balanced, even though this whisky is an enigma to me, as I would hardly call this a peated whisky.

This is very interesting as an alternative to the whole "mild" Islay smokers. Under "Peated", however, I have introduced myself to Longrow a much smokey whisky.
Very, very nice malt. Not only for beginners! He shows no youth, is harmonious and well balanced. Strong, spicy and the smoke does not mask the variety of flavors. Top, 86/100
I had it at 87 before I made these notes but I go up to 89/100 because that is brilliant stuff and a real bang for your buck.
Nose is delicious - when the Muff is gone: smile: on the palate good quality - not necessarily my style - but still delicious - complex, full-bodied, high quality.
A dry, dusty peat, with some fullness. Lemon, very sweet vanilla, white fruits, a hint of icing sugar. Some farm smells, the stable, the hay, animal sweat, damp wood. Grass cut in the rain. Mint leaf. Cereals and spices, cinnamon, saffron. Pretty good balance. On the palate, it is soft, round, still very farmy, not too young, spicy, a touch of coarse salt. The finish is quite long, vanilla and paprika, earth and grass. A clear success. The peat is not too violent due to the two-and-a-half distillations, but the flavors are there, dominated by the influence of bourbon. A classic. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2020/05/longrow-peated.html

Nice drinkable, gentle, you need to sit with him longer to bite through.
Not as earthy as expected from a Campbeltown peated malt. Peat is present but not overwhelming, mostly balanced from the bourbon cask maturation. Warm leather and hints of smoke give a complex interesting taste to some yellow fruit and vanilla enhanced from the casks.
[November 2021 batch, bottled 23/11/21] Ashy peat, earth, cooking oil, sawdust, lots of marinated olives, orchard fruits, citrus, old books, grass, salt, pepper, toffee. It has the Springbank DNA all over it. Distinctive and delicious.

Not chill-filtered. No artificial colour added. Matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. Terroir: entire process of production carried out at the distillery. Thick slow primary legs. Thin very slow secondary legs. Trailing droplets. High quality-price ratio. Advanced level whisky.

A very good value for money
Decent combination of peat and freshness
Nose: Citrus, Peat, Vanilla, Oak. Starts fresh and clean, but gets warmer and sweeter. Some sweet tropical fruit. finally some sour notes again. Taste: Citrus fruit and sweetnes. Simple and raw. Brine and sugar. Finish: Oak, smoke and peppery. Remains sweet and sour.

Nosing reveals lemons, a hint of licorice, industrial smoke or maybe firelighters, hay bales, fishoil, and a light vanilla creaminess. The palate handles half a teaspoon of water very well, making the experience less spirity. It yields a lot of citrus fruits like mandarins, more vanilla and honey too, mixed with porridge, and minerally/earthy peat. The sweetness of it reminds me of nougat. The finish is short and dirty, with notes of rubber, earth and herbal/grassy bitterness. Cashews. It's not that smokey. Really improves in the glass over time, with layers of complexity. Very solid dram!
N: Ash, sulfur, vanilla T: Peat, alcohol stings a bit, slightly sweet F: fairly short Definitely not bad. But lacks some complexity
Good job, expected less from NAS entry level. There is no kicking youth in the aroma. However, youth breaks through to the taste and aftertaste of light alcoholism. Cute.

03/30/2024 - 30 ml - by Afonso @ocaradowhisky, thank you very much for the opportunity! The sadness is that I will hardly buy this bottle in Brazil, not for lack of desire, but for lack of money... Once the label was revealed, I was very happy, as it was a new experience. It's not very peated, but the smoke it has along with the sweet and savory notes brought new combinations.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 85 | Smoke, pineapple, honey, vanilla, citrus fruits, new wood, cooked fruits, baked caramelized apple, some dried fruits. The alcohol is a bit aggressive, but the smoke is pleasant and worth it! With water it became sweeter, adding plastic, rubber, dried figs and, of course, the smoke seasoning everything. The alcohol has been reduced, but the spiciness continues with spices, something like anise, licorice and cinnamon. A combination of aromas of chemicals, sugars, fruits and heat; wonderful, unusual. |
| Вкус | 92 | Smoke, diesel oil, has a good metallic finish but not that of grain whisky, like used automotive parts that are coated with oil and grease. Sweetness came in second place, also in the aftertaste and finish. A little fish and salt, as well as cooked vegetables. With water it became sweeter, with the heat, the sulfur and the smoke there, like roasted chili peppers. |
| Финиш | 85 | Long, sulfuric, latex and burnt tire. Long live the Industrial Revolution! |

I admit to having a weakness for what Springbank does, but, objectively, we have here a delicious whisky. The perfect balance between fruit and peat. It lacks a bit of finesse and surprise to move into the top category, but Longrow proves that it is not necessary to ruin for drinking good whisky!

The heavy dose of smoke really helps this Young Single Malt.
