Which distillery produces Longrow Red?
Longrow Red is produced at the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Springbank is one of the few remaining distilleries in the historic Campbeltown whisky region and is known for conducting every step of production on-site, including traditional floor malting.
What types of wine casks are used for Longrow Red maturation?
Longrow Red is finished in various red wine casks depending on the batch, with previous releases using casks from Australian Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz wines. Each batch specifies which wine casks were used on the label, making every release unique.
How heavily peated is Longrow compared to other Springbank expressions?
Longrow is the most heavily peated of Springbank's three malt expressions (Springbank, Longrow, and Hazelburn), typically peated to a much higher level than standard Springbank. This gives Longrow Red a distinctly smoky character that pairs with its red wine cask influence.
Is Longrow Red chill-filtered or colored?
Longrow Red is bottled non-chill filtered and with no added caramel coloring at 46% ABV, following Springbank's traditional bottling philosophy across its range. This preserves the full texture and natural flavors of the whisky.
