Longrow Peated (70cl, 46%)

Nose: Salt and a leathery smokiness come to the fore in a maritime combination, like a Harbourmaster’s Jacket.

Palate: Light and sweet with notes of green grapes and rhubarb, a great contrast to the nose. Then comes a big blast of smoke.

Finish: That salty smokiness returns from the nose providing a deeply satisfying ending.

Overall: A great entry-level offering from Longrow perfect for Islay fans looking for something a bit different.
