Longrow Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Longrow Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a 46% ABV (92-proof) heavily peated Campbeltown single malt, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and bottled non-chill-filtered with natural colour. Distilled at Springbank Distillery — where floor-malting, distillation, maturation and bottling all happen on site — Longrow is the distillery's peated line, first distilled in 1973 and named for a long-closed neighbouring Campbeltown distillery. This 700mL bottle is the core Longrow Peated bottling. Order online from Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Campbeltown's Peated Answer to Islay
Longrow exists because Springbank wanted a peated malt without copying Islay. The peat here is different — earthier, oilier, wrapped in Campbeltown's signature briny funk — and the bourbon-and-sherry cask recipe gives it a balance of vanilla lift and dried-fruit depth. Everything at Springbank happens under one roof: the barley is floor-malted, the stills run twice, the casks sleep on site. Longrow Peated is the distillery's workhorse smoky malt, the one Campbeltown loyalists reach for daily, and a genuine alternative for peated whisky drinkers who have mapped all of Islay.
Tasting Notes
Peat smoke and sea air on the nose, with sherry-soaked fruit and vanilla underneath. The palate is oily and full — bonfire smoke, dark honey, citrus peel, a briny Campbeltown edge. Finish is long and smoky with lingering malt sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Neat or with a splash of water — the 46% ABV carries flavour without needing dilution. A superb after-dinner pour and a natural pairing for blue cheese or dark chocolate.
