We review a 2015 bottling of the Longrow Peated from our favorite distillery Springbank.
We forgot to mention for reference that heavily peated Longrow is about 50-55 ppm, “medium” peated Springbank is about 7-8 ppm, and Hazelburn is unpeated.

Mike, I enjoyed the passion and accuracy of your flavor and sensation descriptors in this review. In many instances, I found myself laughing and nodding in agreement with your analysis. Keep up the good work! Cheers from New Mexico USA!

I like the individual reviews both of you are doing. It's totally an independent opinion from each of you. But certainly keep the "Duo" going with those epic history bottles and others. Great review.

Agree Longrow is way underrated! Cheers 🥃

@welshtoro3256 Год назад

This one is very underrated.

@welshtoro3256 Год назад

Excellent review Mike and I completely agree. It's very underrated and has been for ages. It's very spirit driven but this is Springbank spirit for Pete's sake - with extra peat to boot! I also agree with you that this is better than any of the stupidly chased after Longrow Reds. Quality, solid, review. WT

Thank you so much WT! Who does not love raw naked Springbank malt?! Slainte! 🥃

Ditch the board and bring back Narbe:) Good video guys!!!

@maltreviews Год назад

Back together for more reviews soon. Cheers!!!

@squinugie2091 Год назад

Surely every producers distillation is higher than 2 with a fraction of the spirit being distilled three times as they put the foreshots and feints back in the spirit still and that liquid has therefore been distilled more than twice. A double distilled in reality is nearer 2.2 to 2.4 depending what the cut point is on the spirit still.

Very good review, the format is spot on. Concise yet complete. Thanks

@maltreviews Год назад

Thank you!!

@AlinJapan Год назад

I assume we'll still get to see you two together doing reviews on joint-custody bottles as well as individual reviews. That's a win-win!

@maltreviews Год назад

Yes this is just to put out more content

@krishnar3493 Год назад

Cheers, Mike! Great work as always. Looking forward to more content.

Thanks Krishna! We will keep cranking it out! Slainte! 🥃

Thank you for a informative review. Will be grabbing this 🥃👌

@maltreviews Год назад

Just keep in mind this is a 2015 bottling. We have not tried the current batch but I assume it will be good!

the 18y longrow is top😉😊

@langtoun8235 Год назад

Great review of an often overlooked entry level single malt and good to see you flying solo. Your board reminded me of the old Jennifer Anniston shampoo advert where she said something like “And now for the science bit” 😄. Keep up the good work and hope to see you both doing a review again soon, how about a Brora?

@maltreviews Год назад

Thank you! Brora sounds nice!!

@topshelfdustin3060 Год назад

Be interesting to see how you think more recent batches line up. The last one I had was just not it.

@maltreviews Год назад

Ya fair point. Have not tried the most recent ones

@topshelfdustin3060 Год назад

@@maltreviews Good news is the most recent batch from a Mr Welish Torro, I'm told is outstanding. My 2019....well it was spirit forward...and a bit much for me.

@TheReal_DeanD Год назад

Gotta bring back the homey Narbe at least for those special occasion bottles. For me I'm done with Longrow Peated. Up to 2017 these were $48 in my area. Then 2 years later went to $69 and now if you're lucky to find it min $82. The bottling I tasted from 2016 had similar earthy notes mentioned here but not that sweet to me or Earth shattering. How about this. Port Charlotte 10 year vs. this Longrow Peated? For me I'd rather the PC because I'd have some money left over.

@maltreviews Год назад

I could not agree more Dean. Price on this is becoming a huge problem. Yes, planning on a blind soon of Ardbeg 10, Longrow Peated, PC10, and a couple other entry level peateds. Cheers! 🥃

@triktrak_1451 Год назад

I'm looking to buy my 1st peated scotch bottle, and I'm a huge fan of Springbank 10. Mike, would you recommend this Longrow Peated over Lagavulin 8, Ledaig 10 and Ardbeg 10? I don't mind the small extra cost, I just want the best one.

@maltreviews Год назад

Yes, if you love Springbank, then absolutely. If possible, through a friend perhaps so you can obtain a sample and spend some time with it, I would highly recommend trying to sample the others when possible to gradually over time develop some knowledge of the other distillery house styles in comparison as part of your overall whisky journey and edification. Cheers!

@triktrak_1451 Год назад

@@maltreviews Thanks- I appreciate your personal response. My friend in the UK brought me a sample of Classic of Islay 2017, an independent bottling he believed to be a young Lagavulin, and I loved it. (So I love peat.) There is a fantastic whiskey bar near me which would likely have all of these drams. But it would take a couple visits just to sample these 4 (plus I was considering Ardbeg Uigeadail, but it sounds as if the Ardbegs lean minty?)... so that I don't walk back to my car snockered out of my gourd!
