-----------------------
Springbank 旗下Peated Whisky系列, 2019年首次將Longrow 21YO列入Core range product。2019當年setting為60% Sherry & 40% Bourbon cask, 而第二batch 2020版本就大幅提高Sherry cask比例, 去到95% Sherry & 5% Bourbon。

P.S. 根據Whiskybase, 其實2016年都有出過一支46%嘅Longrow 21YO (Refill Bourbon Hogshead), 但實際係為當年Open day出既版本, 仲未列入Core range product

網上品評參考

NOSE
A sweet yet meaty dram with aromas of glazed cherries and cured meats. Stewed dark plum notes and chewy black wine gums. Maple syrup and crispy bacon with a medicinal influence from the robust peat smoke. A vibrant nose with a touch of zesty orange peel.

PALATE
Sweet, smoky and waxy with a twist of citrus. Caramel shortbread with marzipan, lemon zest and a dusting of icing sugar. Wax crayons and rich dried fruits with a touch of clove spice.

FINISH
Rich and plummy with flavours of black forest gateaux, bitter chocolate and soft dark fruits. There is a recognisable cereal, earthy, farmyard characteristic in the finish.
