Longrow 11 years Red Cabernet Sauvignon Cask
Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Cask Type: seven years in refill bourbon, four years in Cabernet Sauvignon hogsheads
Cask Origin: Angove's Long Row Australia
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A real treat. Sweet the the beginning: raspberry jam and hints of rose petal. As the nose develops it reveals a light peatiness, with cherries, red grapefruit and blood oranges.
Palate: On there's the peat! Initially oaky and leathery with a little bit of tobacco and salt, the Cabernet Sauvignon influence appears later with some blackberries and cinnamon. A very chewy dram.
Finish: Long and peaty. Definitely coastal in style, thereis a touch of mellow fruitiness here too.
