Another year, another Longrow Red release. This one is a 2022 release, matured 7 yr in ex-bourbon, 4 yr in fresh tawny port. Mine was just a small 3cl sample, but enough to form an opinion. Despite that anything related to Springbank is crazy expensive, I only paid $10 for a sample. Not too bad. Heck, it cost more to go from here in NJ to just under the tunnel to NYC. Nose is amazing: fresh strawberries, smoke, and gritty Springbank signature earthiness. Taste: oily, full bodied, fruity, hint of smoke. A bit of water ( I literally added just two drops) opens up the fruity flavors. This is a must have if you’re a Springbank / Longrow fan, or just a fan of how a well made port finish should taste.
