The Springbank review series continues with this entry level expression from Longrow, which is non-age stated unlike its Springbank and Hazelburn counterparts, but I’d peg it at an average of slightly under 10 years. The nose has the characteristic oily, sulphuric Springbank quality in spades. It’s not Islay peaty, but the peat is very present. There’s a juicy, creamy quality that counterbalances the spoiled off notes quite nicely. The palate is citrus-forward with lemon pith dominating. A brininess appears with some orchard fruit and an herbaceous, clove-like quality rounding out the experience. The mouthfeel is oily and the finish is better than average. This is really good, but not quite great. Slightly less sourness and bitterness would have made a significant improvement. I think I paid $70 for this last year. It’s increased to $80 near me, but I’d still consider picking it up at that price. Of the entry level Springbanks, I like this more than the Hazelburn 10 Year but less than the Springbank 10 Year.
