Longrow Red 11 Year Cabernet Sauvignon Finish

Not this one. Sample marked as Longrow Red Single Malt (abv 52.0%). Peated and on the sweet side

Nose: smoky, strawberry, raspberry, woody, slightly medicinal Palate: the usual briny and salty notes of a longrow. smoke well-balanced with sweet, buttery notes. Flowery, hints of dark fruit but again much more floral and more subtle than a sherried whisky. Tart, Woody and spicy. Rich apple. Strawberries and cream. Body: rich but not oily or viscous. Full. Finish: long, woody, hints of apple and berry. Robust.

Smoky 👃 lavanda or heather. Complex and sweet On the mouth great impression of rugged. Salty.

I love this dram. The nose brings gentle smoke, a little earthy peat and strong berry or red jam notes. The palate takes a quick turn into peat, malt, and a bit of brine, only to relax into cooked brown sugar, older oak, and deeper fruit like fig or date. The finish continues into the evening with mostly smouldering peat. Not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy peat and stronger Scotch, this should be on your list.
