In the Tasting Room at the distillery, you can fill your own bottle from a cask that is available to the visitors. Longrow is the peated version of Springbank (sort of). This Longrow is 12 years old. The first whiff that hits me on the nose is one...

Longrow 10 Year Old

Delicate hay color. Custard, earth, peat, dirt, vanilla wrapped caramel in the nose. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with less sweetness, and more peat smoke.
