My second Longrow is the almighty, well known and discontinued Longrow CV, the predecessor to today's Longrow Peated (which was absolutely amazing). This one is called "CV" for currívulum Vitae which is Latin for "The Course of Life". This baby has been matured in ex Rum, Ex Bourbon, Ex Sherry and ex Port cask from different ages that goes from 7 to 14 years. Bottled at 46%abv, ambar color. On the nose it is just amazing. Right from the start you get a new pair of socks, citric aromas, wet grass, sown land, bacon, Scotch Tape, orange peel, detergent and a horse stable. You did not read any of those notes wrong. After a first sip, the aroma turned into a farm pond, foam from the sea, and a beautiful lemon pie. Pretty interesting notes. On the palate, it was super enjoyable and fairly fruity. Starts with vanilla and grapefruit; prunes, pepper and a little sulphur. More sips revealed lemon pie, lemon grass and meringue. Aftertaste made me close my eyes in happiness. Maritime feeling, salty, herbal; very pleasant smoke, star anise, sandalwood, palo santo and more salt. Overall this was a fantastic, put of the world dram, it missed just a few points here and there, but it is incredibly interesting and full of flavor. My score for it is a very well deserved 97 over 100. Slàinte!
